SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Santa Clara men's basketball played its last two games in Canada, but the team will participate in its first road contest of the season on Saturday, though it will be nearby as the Broncos have their annual tilt against San Jose State. Tipoff between the Broncos and Spartans (1-4) is set for 3 p.m. in Event Center.
The Broncos (0-4) dropped both of their games at the inaugural Vancover Showcase.
Santa Clara led for much of the first half against Minnesota on Tuesday, but the Gophers dominated in rebounding (49-33) and went to the line 37 times in an 80-66 win in the tournament finale.
