Men’s Basketball Loses on Double-Overtime Buzzer Beater to San Diego

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Santa Clara men's basketball was unable to score with the same proficiency as in Thursday's record-setting victory against Pepperdine, but was still in position for a key West Coast Conference win Saturday, however San Diego's Tyler Williams had other plans.

Williams nailed a 16-foot jumper as time expired to lift the Toreros to a thrilling 60-58 double-overtime win against the Broncos who had an opportunity to move into a tie for third in the WCC standings with BYU (19-10, 10-6) which lost to Saint Mary's earlier in the evening.

Cameron Newbauer scored a game-high 24 points of 9 of 18 from the field and Brett Bailey tallied 10 for San Diego (12-16, 5-11), which had lost seven of its last eight entering the game, but was able to frustrate a Santa Clara offense that shot 64 percent just two days in earlier in a lopsided win against Pepperdine.
