Liam Campbell - Scores 15 in loss Campbell chipped in 15 points (5-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and five rebounds in 28 minutes during Thursday's 63-50 loss to Texas A&M.

Impact The freshman was perhaps the lone bright spot for Saint Mary's in its first-round NCAA Tournament loss. Though he only played 14.6 minutes per game and averaged 4.9 points, Campbell did shoot 52 percent from three-point range for the 2025-26 season. That should make him a factor in his sophomore campaign.

Paulius Murauskas - Not starting Thursday Murauskas is not in the starting five for Thursday's game versus Texas A&M, Travis L. Brown of The Bryan-College Station Eagle reports.

Impact Murauskas has started every game this season, so his absence from the starting five is a bit of a surprise. Mantas Juzenas is starting in his place. Murauskas is averaging 18.8 points and 7.7 rebounds across 32.4 minutes per game this season, so he still figures to be a major part of the Gaels first round contest.

Paulius Murauskas - Drops 26 in defeat Murauskas contributed 26 points (9-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and eight rebounds in 36 minutes during Monday's 76-71 loss to Santa Clara.

Impact The junior and second-leading scorer in the West Coast Conference scored at least 20 points for the 15th time this season, but it wasn't enough to stave off the upset bid from third-seeded Santa Clara in the semifinals of the WCC tournament. Murauskas is averaging 18.8 points and 7.7 rebounds per contest in 2025-26. Fortunately, his season is likely not over, as the 27-5 Gaels are almost certain to get an NCAA Tournament bid.
