RTC Live: Gonzaga @ Santa Clara
Posted by rtmsf on January 20th, 2011Game #112. Gonzaga heads to the Bay Area for a game against conference rival Santa Clara who has upset on its mind.
Gonzaga heads into a weekend matchup with two Bay Area rivals that wreaked havoc on its season last year, starting with Santa Clara tonight from the Leavey Center at 6 PM Pacific. Santa Clara (10-9, 1-2 WCC) took the Zags to the wire last year before succumbing 71-64, and San Francisco finished off the nightmare weekend with an 81-77 (OT) win two nights later. The Zags need to avoid a trap against the Broncos tonight to keep up with Saint Mary’s atop the WCC standings and restore their luster for a return to the Top 25. At 13-5 (3-0 WCC), the Zags can’t afford any unexpected losses, and the Broncos are hoping to give them just that.
