What to Know
The Santa Clara Broncos and the Brigham Young Cougars are set to square off in a West Coast matchup at 11 p.m. ET Jan. 19 at Leavey Center. These two teams come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous games.
The Broncos strolled past the Pacific Tigers with points to spare on Saturday, taking the contest 92-81. Five players on Santa Clara scored in the double digits: forward Keshawn Justice (26), guard Carlos Stewart (21), forward Parker Braun (10), center Jaden Bediako (10), and guard Brenton Knapper (10). This also makes it three games in a row in which Carlos Stewart has had at least three steals.
Meanwhile, BYU picked up a 91-81 victory over the Pepperdine Waves on Saturday. Among those leading the charge for the Cougars was forward Fousseyni Traore, who had 19 points along with nine boards and three blocks.
Barring any buzzer beaters, Santa Clara is expected to win a tight contest Thursday. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a six-game streak of ATS wins.
Santa Clara got away with a 77-76 win when the two teams previously met in January of last year. Will they repeat their success, or does BYU have a better game plan this time around? We’ll find out soon enough.
