Terrible luck for the guards that transferred from Saint Mary’s. Mikey Lewis and Liam Campbell. Get well soon!

Saint Mary’s preview smcgaels.com/news/2026/10/15…

Saint Mary's national TV games It sure looks the WCC capped teams at 5 league appearances per TV partner. The post-Gonzaga deals presumably value exposure over bucks, and thus that cap Next season, SMC will be even more ESPN-centric as our Fox MET is replaced with the Maui on ESPN. Saint Louis on ESPN2 on a fall Friday night in Moraga helps later schedules? We weren't getting those under Bennett. ESPN wants some of good games on ESPN2 during football season. Most of good gyms in the west aren't under the ESPN flag, but ESPN has first dibs on WCC gyms. Going forward do any MWC or PAC-12 schools want both at SMC on their resume and a game ESPN2? Oklahoma State is good feedback regarding the brand. The game was within TNT's bin and they decided the game had sufficient name value to broadcast. Finally, I don't want a jersey patch. I'm not expecting a jersey patch. Normally, I'd say that makes zero sense for either SMC or the companies. But, with 9-10 legitimate national TV games (not all "national coverage" is equal) out of 15 + Vegas, I wonder whether anyone went value shopping and made a real bid.
