I was fixing dinner yesterday when my buddy texted me asking about the St Mary’s basketball schedule. He needed dates for this season’s games real quick. Figured other fans might want this too, so I decided to hunt it down properly.
Starting the search
Grabbed my laptop off the couch and opened Google Chrome. Typed “St Mary’s Gaels basketball schedule 2023-2024” straight into the search bar. First few links were useless – some shady ticket resellers and old news articles. Almost clicked one pretending to be the official site before noticing the weird URL. Felt kinda dumb there.
Finding the real deal
Scrolled down past those junk results and finally spotted the actual St Mary’s Athletics site. Clicked the basketball section and boom – full schedule right there in a clean table. Took screenshots of the whole thing just in case it vanished. Noticed they play Gonzaga twice this season, which is always fireworks. Those dates got circled in red immediately.
Key matchups I wrote down:
- VS Gonzaga home – Feb 3
- AT Gonzaga away – Jan 25
- VS San Diego – Feb 15
- Conference tourney starts – March 10
Double-checking everything
Went to * to verify the dates since school sites sometimes mess up times. Took forever to navigate their garbage mobile site though. Everything matched up except one tip-off time was off by 30 minutes. Texted my buddy the correct schedule with time zone notes.
Done this enough times now that I know the drill – official school site first, ESPN second for verification. Still takes patience wading through all the trash search results. Would be sweet if the NCAA made one central schedule hub, but we all know that ain’t happening.
