Santa Clara Looks to Even the Series Against San Francisco on Home Court

The KenPom ratings currently place San Francisco at 68th and Santa Clara at 75th, indicating a closely matched matchup between the two teams. In their first meeting, the Dons secured a narrow three-point overtime victory, further highlighting the competitive nature of the game. Despite Santa Clara winning eight of their last nine games, their defeat to San Francisco remains the only setback in this recent success. Considering these factors, I predict the Broncos will secure a victory on their home court to even the series.
