Game Preview: Zags vs Santa Clara
After a dominant showing against BYU on Thursday night, the Bulldogs have a quick turnaround game against Herb Sendek’s Santa Clara Broncos down in the Mission City.
Saturday’s 1 pm game will be the Zags’ first road game of the season. Because of California’s guidelines and the decision of the university, the game will have a sparse crowd of 25% capacity, allowing team staff and family, select ticket members and 600 students.
The odds have not yet been released on DraftKings, but KenPom predicts a 90-77 win for Gonzaga.
But the early start and unusual environment could throw any team off, so here’s what to watch out for in a potential look-ahead game.
