Utah Tech

Utah Tech has experienced success in the past three Division I seasons with several big wins, but the team must rebuild after losing four key players and experienced bench player Dancell Leter. Many newcomers have been recruited, including transfers from Hawaii, Evansville, and Fullerton College, as well as four JUCO transfers and three freshmen. The top returning players are forward Tanner Christensen and guard Noa Gonsalves. With the majority of last season's game minutes and offensive production gone, Utah Tech struggles defensively, while ranking better in offensive performance. Freshman Aric Demings looks to be the starting point guard this season.

Santa Clara Broncos Analysis

Santa Clara Broncos are projected to finish 4th or 5th this season after losing several players from last season. Guard Carlos Marshall Jr and Christoph Tilly are the top returning players, and the team has added five transfers and three freshmen, including Adama-Alpha Bal, Francisco Caffaro, Johnny O’Neil, Tyeree Bryan, and Jalen Benjamin. Statistics-wise, Santa Clara's power ranking is 101 and they are #58 for offense, scoring an average of 76.88 points per game; #270 for defense, allowing an average of 73.12 points per game; and 0-0 overall with an last 3 matchups record of 0-0 against Utah Tech. Offensively, they make 45.36% of field goals and 70.36% of free throws, as well as 36.98% of three pointers. On defense, they allow 43.39% of field goals, 73.05% of free throws, and 35.80% of three pointers, averaging 33.52 defensive rebounds and 13.52 defensive assists per game.

Santa Clara Brings in Eight New Players to Replace 84% of its Scoring Lost Ahead of Utah Tech Trailblazers Meeting

Santa Clara lost 84% of their scoring, including Co-WCC Player of the Year Brandin Podziemski, ahead of their opening night matchup against Utah Tech Trailblazers. The Trailblazers have also lost over 80% of their scoring from last season. To fill roster spots, the Broncos acquired five transfers and three freshmen, which will help them contend for a top five spot in the West Coast Conference. Carlos Marshall Jr is the only returning player with any experience and he was an All-Ohio Valley Conference player from Tennessee State. Marshall only played three games last season before succumbing to an injury.
