12th-ranked Gonzaga hosts Santa Clara, hopeful to start new home win streak

Feb. 2—Pregame

Gonzaga will want to make up for its last performance inside the McCarthey Athletic Center.

The Bulldogs host Santa Clara tonight at 8 p.m., in their first game at the Kennel since losing to Loyola Marymount on Jan. 19, which snapped the longest standing home win streak. The game will be broadcast on CBS Sport Network.

Gonzaga is a 13 1/2 -point favorite according to Vegas Insider. The 12th-ranked Bulldogs (18-4, 7-1 West Coast) escaped with a 81-76 win over the Broncos (16-7, 4-4) on Jan. 7 in Santa Clara.

The Broncos took a lead with under two minutes remaining, until Nolan Hickman made a go-ahead 3-pointer at the 1:16 mark.

The Zags will hope for a more comfortable result this time and are coming off a 82-67 win over Portland last Saturday. Julian Strawther scored 40 points in the win.

The Broncos fell to Pacific 95-89 in their lone game last week.

Gonzaga will need to avoid looking ahead to Saturday's game at No. 18 Saint Mary's, which will likely be for first place in the WCC.

Series history

Tonight's game marks the 100th time Gonzaga and Santa Clara have faced off on the hardwood, with the Zags holding a 69-30 all-time series lead.

The Bulldogs have won 25 straight and haven't lost at home to the Broncos since Feb. 12, 2007.
