The Senior Men's team compete in Division 1 of the Scottish Men's National League, the highest level in Scotland and the second highest in the United Kingdom, behind the professional British Basketball League.

History

St Mirren National League basketball started as part of the Paisley & District Basketball Association in 1997, although the association had begun basketball related activities in 1995. St Mirren McDonald's, as they would then be known, was launched at a press conference in St Mirren Football Stadium. The team would win the Scottish Cup for the first time in 1999, defeating Edinburgh 70-62, at the Kelvin Hall International Sports Arena.

The team won their first National League title in 2000 in front of 600 frenzied home fans at the Saints Arena. During the same season Reid Kerr College became the Club's major sponsor.
