Santa Clara has won the last 3 meetings between the two, LMU just lost to Tarleton State as 6pt favorites home favorites, Santa Clara losing to Yale as 2.5 point home favorites losing by 8. The edge to me, lies with Santa Clara who are shooting the better percentage from the field at 47% and only allowing 41% success to opponents from the field. Santa clara are the worse defense of the two, but I'm concerned with LMU keeping up if shots start to fall consistently for the Broncos, and it's also concerning that Santa Clara are much better rebounding, which would give them (the better scoring team) more second chance opportunities.

Official Play: Santa Clara +2
