SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Santa Clara men's basketball, which has won six of its last eight, closes a four-game homestand Saturday with No. 21/21 Saint Mary's. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. from Leavey Center.
The Broncos (12-10, 6-3) secured their biggest victory of the Herb Sendek era Thursday by knocking off the BYU, 76-68, for the first time since the Cougars joined the West Coast Conference. Senior guard Jared Brownridge scored a game-high 25 points, including 14 in the second half, while senior forward Nate Kratch and sophomore guard KJ Feagin tallied 16 each for Santa Clara, which drained a season-high tying 14 3-pointers to move into a tie for third with Cougars in the conference standings.
