What to Know

After two games on the road, the #12 Gonzaga Bulldogs are heading back home. Gonzaga and the Santa Clara Broncos will face off in a West Coast battle at 11 p.m. ET Thursday at McCarthey Athletic Center. The Bulldogs should still be riding high after a victory, while Santa Clara will be looking to right the ship.

While not quite a landslide, the contest between Gonzaga and the Portland Pilots on Saturday was still a pretty decisive one as Gonzaga wrapped it up with an 82-67 win on the road. Guard Julian Strawther took over for Gonzaga, finishing with 40 points (a whopping 49% of their total) in addition to six boards.

Meanwhile, the Broncos were within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap on Saturday as they fell 95-89 to the Pacific Tigers. If the result catches you off guard, it should: Santa Clara was far and away the favorite. Santa Clara’s defeat came about despite a quality game from guard Brandin Podziemski, who shot 6-for-11 from downtown and finished with 38 points and nine rebounds.

This next matchup looks promising for the Bulldogs, who are favored by a full 13.5 points. Those who got lucky with them against the spread on Saturday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the squad has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.

Santa Clara’s loss took them down to 16-7 while Gonzaga’s win pulled them up to 18-4. In their victory, Gonzaga relied heavily on Strawther, who shot 8-for-12 from beyond the arc and finished with 40 points and six boards. the Broncos will need to find a way to minimize his impact if they want to win.
