Dick Harmon: Judkins' guard line destroys pesky Santa Clara as BYU advances to WCC final

LAS VEGAS — Jeff Judkins enjoys an immense luxury with BYU’s guard line and all of it was on display Monday as the No. 1 seed and WCC champs corralled a good No. 4 Santa Clara team 87-67 in the semifinals of the league tournament.

Deadly shooters, ball hawks, multi-faceted dribblers, zone busters, Judkins can go big or small. It was too much for Santa Clara to handle in the Orleans Arena.

You start with WCC Player of the Year Lexi Eaton Rydalch, who tied the late Hank Gathers as the most prolific scorer in league history — men or women — with her 25-point effort in Monday's matinee game.
