SANTA CLARA, Calif. - For the second-straight game, Santa Clara men's basketball used a big second half to erase a halftime deficit. This time it was to the tune of a sensational 76.5 percent scoring clip on 13-of-17 shooting as the Broncos won a back-and-forth affair that came down to the final possession against LMU. SCU won 71-69 to improve to 19-8 and 7-5 in WCC play.
Brandin Podziemski started hot, cooled down for a bit, then lit up the scoreboard once again in the second half to finish with 30 points - his fourth 30-point game of the season.
