You know, Santa Clara is having a mediocre season and tied for 5th in league with us right now. We go there Saturday, and to LMU the following week ... three-game road winning streak, 4-4 in league, solidly in 5th with tiebreakers over all the teams behind us ... that would be too much to hope for ... right??

Right??

WRONG !

(statstman is a good guy ... but EVEN this optimist couldn't see that )

and BTW ... the mediocre is the final score ... the games as we all know were mostly close ... and we are maturing ...

GAME NOTES: The Santa Clara Broncos close out a four-game homestand tonight with a date against fellow West Coast Conference member Pepperdine at the Leavey Center. On Thursday night, the Broncos won for the third time in as many tries with an 82-56 thumping of Loyola Marymount. However, despite the overwhelming win, Santa Clara is still just 2-4 in conference play after opening the league schedule with four straight setbacks. As for the Waves, they too were in action two nights ago and for their efforts they pulled off a narrow 69-67 win against the San Francisco Dons on the road. While SCU is capping a pleasant stay at home tonight, this game represents the second of three straight on the road for Pepperdine, with a stop at LMU slated for next weekend. In a series that dates back to the 1955-56 campaign, Santa Clara own a 64-52 edge over the Waves coming into tonight. However, Pepperdine has won two of the last three encounters, including a 64-58 decision last season.

Needing a boost to earn their first road win of the 2008-09 campaign, the Waves got it from Keion Bell who tallied a career-high 32 points in the two- point win against San Francisco. Bell made good on all but one of his 14 field goal attempts and was a perfect 4-of-4 behind the three-point line as he stood as the lone double-digit scorer for the group. After 22 games, of which he has started 17, Bell leads the program in scoring with his 12.3 ppg, yet even though he was perfect beyond the arc two nights ago, his mere 25.9 percent accuracy out on the perimeter is not all that encouraging. Mychal Thompson, who made just 2-of-11 from the field versus the Dons and was guilty of four turnovers, is second on the squad with 10.8 ppg, but he is making only 37.2 percent from the floor thus far for a team that is converting at a disappointing 39.5 percent clip.

Like so many other teams that face off against Santa Clara, the Lions simply had no answer for John Bryant in the middle on Thursday night, allowing the Broncos center to rip down an incredible 22 rebounds, score 12 points and block five shots in the 26-point decision. Also having strong efforts were James Rahon (25 points), Kevin Foster (20 points) and Marc Trasolini (11 points) as the home team converted a sizzling 61.2 percent form the floor in the romp. The 22 rebounds for Bryant tied a career high and also put him ahead of Oklahoma's Blake Griffin for total rebounds on the season with 306 thus far. Simply a beast in the paint, Bryant is averaging 17.0 ppg and 13.3 rpg and is also one of the nation's best in blocked shots as well with a total of 62 over the course of 23 games. Foster and Rahon check in with 13.4 and 11.4 ppg, respectively, to help the team generate 64.9 ppg this year.

Without having to go into much detail, the bottom line here is that the Waves don't have anyone who can really put a body on Bryant, so there's a good chance the nation's top rebounder could have another huge outing this weekend.

Broncos keep it up-tempo and use their superior players, and we should see another big win tonight. LMU could not keep up and I don't expect that Pepperdine can either. I like what I see from the backcourt of Foster and Rahon. Better ball movement and better shots. It also helps that Rahon is shooting the lights out. Foster keeps getting his. Bryant should have his way again tonight so should Traz. We need to get Traz more involved offensively.

Another win tonight puts the Broncos squarely fifth in league. Then we catch USD on a three game losing streak next week followed by a St Marys team without Mills at home. You never know what might happen.

How was the game? Looks like Bryant went 37 so nice stamina for the big fella! Traz played only 12 and one foul - did he get hurt? Any sign of White this week?

Bryant had another nice game. At this pace, he is going to break Awtrey's all-time rebound record. Traz did get hurt, but came in and played at the end of the game when Dowdell got hurt. White was MIA again. -buckets

while at his current rate (13.5 rpg) BIG John (323/1,008) needs a little more than 6 games to "break" Dennis Awtrey's single season (409 rbs, 14.1 rpg) record but to best his Career (1,134) record he will need at least 10 more games ... which are not guarenteed ...

I would hate to see Dennis lose the records (and remember Dennis did it in three years playing in the Big Lew era before freshmen were allowed to play Varsity ball and with less than 30 games in seasons that included 3 NCAA runs to the sweet 16 and 2 to the Elite 8 -- John should have at least 32 this year)

Dennis' 619 single season points record is safe (at least for now) as well as his Career 19.9 ppg and 13.5 rpg averages ....

good luck to BIG JOHN as he pursues Dennis' records ...
