Per ESPN: CLEVELAND -- — Saint Mary's guard Jordan Ross keyed a second-half rally while star Augustas Marciulionis dealt with foul trouble, and the seventh-seeded Gaels fended off 10th-seeded Vanderbilt 59-56 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday.

The Commodores led by 12 points when Marciulionis — the two-time West Coast Conference Player of the Year — exited with his fourth foul early in the second half.

Ross scored 10 of his 15 points with Marciulionis on the bench to help the Gaels (29-5) pull even.

“He’s kind of funny,” Saint Mary's coach Randy Bennett said of Ross. “He knows when he has to go, and he knew he had to go.”
