What to Know

If the oddsmakers' predictions hold true, the near future looks bright for Santa Clara. They and the Pacific Tigers will face off in a West Coast battle at 10:00 p.m. ET on Thursday at Leavey Center. Both teams have had a bumpy ride up to this point with three consecutive losses for Santa Clara and 11 for the Tigers.

Last Saturday, the Broncos lost 71-70 to the Dons on a last-minute free throw From Jonathan Mogbo. Santa Clara was up 19 in the first but still couldn't manage to seal the deal.

Despite their defeat, Santa Clara saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Jake Ensminger, who dropped a double-double on ten points and 11 rebounds, was perhaps the best of all.

Meanwhile, Pacific pushed their score all the way to 84 on Saturday, but even that wasn't enough to win. They fell 89-84 to the Toreros. Pacific got off to an early lead (up 13 with 10:59 left in the first quarter), but sadly they weren't able to maintain that momentum.

Like Pacific, they lost despite seeing results from several players. Jalen Brown led the charge by scoring 17 points. Another player making a difference was Moe Odum, who scored 15 points along with seven assists.

The Broncos' loss dropped their record down to 15-10. As for the Tigers, they have not been sharp recently as the team's lost 12 of their last 13 matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 6-20 record this season.

Thursday's matchup is shaping up to be a scrappy contest: Santa Clara have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 38.3 rebounds per game. It's a different story for Pacific, though, as they've been averaging only 27.1 rebounds per game. Given Santa Clara's sizable advantage in that area, the Tigers will need to find a way to close that gap.

Everything went Santa Clara's way against the Tigers in their previous meeting back in January as the Broncos made off with a 88-69 victory. Will Santa Clara repeat their success, or do the Tigers have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
