NASSAU, The Bahamas - Behind big nights from Brandin Podziemski and Jaden Bediako, coupled with an outstanding defensive effort, Santa Clara picked up a big win in the opening game of the Baha Mar Hoops Bahamas Championship as they knocked off DePaul, 69-61. The Broncos held the Blue Demons to just 34.4 percent shooting and clamped down around the perimeter to allow just six treys on 31 attempts as they picked up their first win over a Big East opponent since 2012.
The win was No. 100 for head coach Herb Sendek in his Santa Clara career.
