In celebration of recent success, the Saint Mary's men's basketball program hosted an All-Stars Classic. Nearly 100 former Saint Mary's men's basketball players returned to Moraga on June 29 for the Gaels Basketball All-Star Classic and Alumni Weekend.

Matthew Dellavedova, guard for the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers, was joined by former teammates Omar Samhan, Mickey McConnell and other SMC alumni, including Diamon Simpson, Lucas Walker, and Daniel Kickert.

Saint Mary's head coach Randy Bennett was behind the celebration. "We've had incredible players in our program over the last several years," said Bennett. "But, since most of them are currently playing professionally throughout the world, it has been difficult to get them all back on campus at once. It just so happened that a window of opportunity opened this year and we are taking advantage of it. This is a great way to continue to share our program's success with our supportive Lamorinda community."

Matthew Dellavedova cheers on the blue team.
