Yesterday in Palm Springs, we got to see the "good" Santa Clara that pounded TCU by 17. Indeed, this might be one of the best 3-4 teams in the country, especially if the Broncos perform as they did on Thursday. The big news was boomerang transfer Carlos Stewart finally resembling the player he was two seasons ago before spending a year at LSU, looking like the 15 ppg scorer from 2022-23 when scoring 18 points on 8 for 9 shooting as the Broncos rolled the Horned Frogs. Meanwhile, though grinding out a win over CSU on Thursday, and sitting at 5-1, U-Dub still looks very much a work in progress for new HC Danny Sprinkle. The Huskies are not spreading the floor offensively as they hit just 28.1% beyond the arc, and last December Herb Sendek did a great job blanketing Sprinkle's 6-8 PF Great Osobor, held to just 3 for 15 FG shooting when both were still with the Utags.
