SAN BRUNO, Calif. -- Saturday's West Coast Conference men's basketball game featuring longtime rivals Saint Mary's and San Francisco at McKeon Pavilion in Moraga has been moved from its originally scheduled time of 5 p.m. to an 8 p.m. tipoff to avoid the San Francisco 49ers divisional playoff game at the same time.

Fans who have already purchased tickets to the game can simply use that same ticket to gain entrance into McKeon Pavilion for the 8 p.m. start.  Doors to the gym will open at 6:30 p.m. and the game will be televised live in the Bay Area by Comcast SportsNet California.  A live audio stream and live statistical coverage will also be available via Gaels Live on SMCGaels.com.

A limited number of tickets to the game are available by visiting the tickets link on SMCGaels.com or by calling the SMC Athletic Ticket Office at (925) 631-GoTx (4689).

The Gaels travel to Spokane to face Gonzaga on Thursday in an 8 p.m. contest that will be televised live nationally on ESPN2 with Dave Flemming and Stephen Bardo calling the action.
