Bradley vs Santa Clara
(NCAAB) Braves (BRAD) vs. Broncos (SCU),
Point Spread: -2.50 | -120.00 Broncos (SCU) (Home)
Result: Win
Santa Clara has turned around its season thanks to one major, yet simple, development...better shooting. Specifically, the Broncos' 3-point accuracy has steadily been climbing in recent weeks, due in good part to boomerang transfer Carlos Stewart relocating his range. Across the past four games, Stewart has connected on 12 of 21 triples (57%) after hovering in the teens (percentage-wise) earlier. Stewart is scoring at a 17.3 pg clip across that span while his overall shooting is a sizzling 63.2% (24 of 38)...the type of production Herb Sendek envisioned when Stewart transferred back from LSU. Bradley has started quick at 8-1 but the schedule has not been a challenge, and note the one matchup vs. a WCC foe (Washington State, playing in the loop this season and next) was a resounding defeat for the Braves. Lee's Family Forum is also familiar territory for the Broncos, who faced Arizona State here in Henderson five weeks ago. Play Santa Clara (at Henderson)
