The 2011–12 Saint Mary's Gaels men's basketball team represent Saint Mary's College of California in the 2011–12 college basketball season. This is head coach Randy Bennett's eleventh season at Saint Mary's. The Gaels compete in the West Coast Conference and play their home games at the McKeon Pavilion. The Gaels had been for the previous 5 seasons the only team capable of challenging Gonzaga's supremacy in the WCC. This season brought the addition of BYU to the conference creating a 3 way race to the top. The triumvirate at the top of the WCC has brought increased attention to the conference and The Gaels.[1]
