BYU vs Santa Clara Prediction : Santa Clara is Complicated
Herb Sendek has always been ahead of the strategic curve (“More plays than Shakespeare” says former coach and TV analysts Pete Gillen about Sendek’s thick playbook) so no surprise that his embrace of the new/old “double big” concept has helped recall a traditional rugged brand of Santa Clara hoops.
Though Sendek’s perimeter weapons Brandin Podziemski (Illinois transfer; 18.7 ppg) and Carlos Stewart (14.9 ppg) are generating the headlines, Sendek’s pair of 6-10 frontliners Parker Braun (ex-Mizzou transfer) and Jaden Bediako have spearheaded one of the nation’s leading rebound margins (15th), as the Broncos no longer have to worry about getting bullied by BYU.
BYU Could Pose Problems
Better late than never, as SCU has had its problems with the Cougs for the past decade, but did get the Provo guys 77-76 at the Leavey Center last January 27 on a dramatic, running one-handed game-winner by Jalen Williams (now NBA Thunder) at the buzzer and now has one more chance to get BYU at home before the Cougs move on to the Big 12.
Teams that can bang with BYU (which ranks just behind the Broncos in rebound margin) usually have the best chance against the Cougs, whose offense isn’t quite the smooth-running machine of past years, as not since Trent Plaisted scored 13.6 ppg in 2005-06 have the Cougs had a leading scorer even near as low as F Fousseyni Traore’s 12.8 ppg, and Mark Pope was caught short of guards this season, needing to pull ex-Coastal Carolina Rudi Williams (11.5 ppg) out of the portal to at least provide some pop for the backcourt.
Backing the Broncos
After losing last-second decisions at home to Saint Marty’s & Gonzaga in recent weeks, it’s time the ball bounces right for the Broncos against another of the WCC heavyweights. “Totals” alert–though SCU was “over” in last Saturday’s win at UOP, it has been trending “under” (9-3) since the start of December, while BYU on 6-1 “under” run.
The Ultimate Betting Prediction: Play Santa Clara Moneyline and the Under.
