Bruce’s Analysis:

We trust Santa Clara extending a scoreline in the WCC, where the Broncos’ win margin is a robust 19 ppg. Herb Sendek’s team has ascended to the top of the WCC after nine straight wins, and most impressively features depth and balance, with seven different leading scorers since the start of conference play. Last Saturday at Washington State (one of SCU’s few non-covers in the past month), it was rapidly-improving 6-8 F Allen Graves doing the damage with 30 points and 13 rebounds in another Broncos win. Seattle has had its moments this season but the Redhawks haven’t had many of those lately on the road, where they’ve scored only 55 ppg across their last three as a visitor, all losses.
