Santa Clara (9-6) begins conference play tied with Saint Mary's for the fourth-best record in the WCC. 

The Broncos have done a lot of their damage from outside the three-point arc this season, leading the WCC in three-point shooting (37.8%) and ranking 32nd in the NCAA.  

Adama-Alpha Bal (14.8 ppg) and Carlos Marshall, Jr. (14.4 ppg) have carried the offensive load this season, and both players currently rank in the top 10 scorers in the WCC. 

The Broncos will be looking to win their seventh consecutive WCC opener. 

LMU (7-7) sits just behind Santa Clara with the fifth-best overall record in the WCC. 

The Lions have dropped their last two games, but own impressive wins over UNLV and Florida International this season. 

Redshirt junior guard Dominick Harris leads the team in scoring with 14.5 ppg, but he is just one of four Lions averaging double-digit scoring numbers this year. 

LMU ranks fourth in the WCC in both scoring (74.6 ppg) and points allowed (69.6 ppg).
