Men's Basketball is headed to the Big Dance. Find out where the Gaels are seeded.

Once again, Saint Mary's Men's Basketball would like to invite all of its faithful fans to join the team inside University Credit Union Pavilion on Sunday, March 15 as the NCAA Tournament Bracket is revealed. Come out and celebrate with the Gaels as they find out where they will be dancing in the opening rounds of the 2026 NCAA Tournament.

The event begins at 2:30 p.m., with doors to UCU Pavilion opening at that time. The selection show begins at 3 p.m. and will be streamed live on the video board inside the Pavilion, ending at approximately 4 p.m. Concessions will be available for purchase throughout the event.

The Saint Mary's ticket office will be onsite to assist with questions about tickets for the NCAA Tournament. The opening round of the NCAA Tournament will take place at various locations on March 19 or 20.

The Gaels (27–5) have earned a single digit seed in four straight NCAA Tournaments, and will look to make it to a fifth straight Big Dance for the first time in program history. Most media predictions slate the Gaels once again as a single digit seed. Saint Mary's is ranked 21st in the latest AP and USA Today Coaches Polls and checks in 22nd in the NET, 22nd in KenPom, and 24th in Bart Torvik.
