It's been a bit infuriating for Santa Clara, off to a slow 2-4 start, and the Broncos have been kicking themselves for blowing late leads (against North Dakota State and Stanford) in two of those losses. Last week's 96-54 win romp past UC Riverside showed what the Broncos could do when all cylinders are firing. The Broncos' issue has been three-point shooting, which has clicked at only 29.4%, though there was certainly improvement in the UCR blowout when hitting 55% from deep. Herb Sendek is still awaiting boomerang transfer G Carlos Stewart (only 7.8 ppg & 15.4% on triples) to begin reprising his form from two years ago when scoring 15 pg. Meanwhile, the Frogs fell well short in the one real challenge vs. Michigan, and are scoring a very pedestrian 69.5 ppg. Interestingly, three years ago these sides met at about this time of the season at another SO Cal venue, San Juan Capistrano, with SCU rolling by an 85-66 count. Play Santa Clara (at Palm Springs)
