The Santa Clara Broncos (17-10) return to their home court for a West Coast Conference (WCC) battle against the Loyola Marymount Lions (15-12) on Thursday at 11:00 pm ET.
The Lions have had their fair share of ups and downs, but they’ve managed to stay above .500 despite some rough patches. They started the season 3-4, picking up wins against Life Pacific, Belmont, and Wyoming, while suffering losses to UC Irvine, Saint Louis, North Dakota, and Colorado State. After stringing together a five-game winning streak with victories over Nevada, Prairie View, UC Santa Barbara, Southern, and North Alabama, LMU hit a tough 1-4 stretch, only managing a win over Oregon State while falling to San Francisco, Washington State, Gonzaga, and Saint Mary’s.
The Lions rebounded by rattling off five straight victories against Santa Clara, San Diego, Pacific, Portland, and San Diego again. However, they've since stumbled with another 1-4 skid, only beating Pepperdine while losing to Gonzaga, San Francisco, Pacific, and Portland. That leaves them at 15-12 through their first 27 games of the season.
The Broncos have had their own share of bumps in the road, but they've managed to stay competitive. They began with a 3-5 start, with setbacks against Arizona State, North Dakota State, Nevada, and Stanford. However, they found their rhythm with a six-game win streak, notching victories over McNeese, Fresno State, Bradley, Kennesaw State, South Dakota, and Pepperdine.
Santa Clara then hit a 5-4 stretch, picking up wins over San Diego, Oregon State, San Francisco, Gonzaga, and Washington State, but dropping games to San Francisco, LMU, Oregon State, and Saint Mary’s. Before their recent loss to Saint Mary’s, the Broncos had been riding a three-game winning streak against Pacific, Portland, and San Diego, giving them a 17-10 record on the year.
