Team records:
Santa Clara – 11-18 SU, 11-13 ATS
Gonzaga – 22-5 SU, 13-9-2 ATS

Santa Clara will try and an win in Spokane tonight for the first time since 2007. Gonzaga enters the contest ranked 15th in the nation.

Gonzaga won on the road against Santa Clara in late January 71-64 (ATS L -12). They were losing at the half but held the Broncos to only 26 second half points to grab the victory.

It has been a while since Santa Clara was a threat in the West Coast Conference. This year has been especially trying as they have only gotten six games out of leading scorer Kevin Foster who is out indefinitely with a foot injury. Forward Marc Trassolini has stepped up his production is Foster’s absence, continuing the line of Canadian players suiting up for the Broncos (remember Steve Nash). It just hasn’t been enough in the improving WCC where even the Zags have been brought down twice already this season.

A third loss is a possibility but it won’t be tonight at home against a Santa Clara team that will be outclassed.

Despite a couple of head scratcher losses the Zags have been better than advertised this year. They lost a lot of talent from last year’s squad but the returning players led by Matt Bouldin have all improved their games and freshman forward Elias Harris from Germany could very well be the Frosh of the year. The Bulldogs enter the late stage of the season looking to finish strong and improve their seeding for the tournament. Their resume already has them in but if they win out they might be able to climb as high as a three seed. Sports Betting at the SportsbookGonzaga is a very efficient offensive team, currently ranked 7th in the country in FG% at 49%. To have a chance to beat them you have to force them away from the shots they want to take. This is a difficult task and one Santa Clara is not up to.

This game should serve as a tuneup for the WCC tournament where games against St. Mary’s and Portland will provide a stiffer challenge.
