San Francisco-5.5
Santa Clara did not make a field goal in the final 6:53 of
its game on Saturday night at Hawaii. An ominous sign
for tonight's game. You normally need at least four days
to be good again after returning to the mainland from a
trip to Hawaii. Santa Clara gets only ONE!
Santa Clara plays more freshmen and sophomores than
almost anyone else in the nation, and nearing the end of
a long, regular season those new faces are being asked
to do something they never have before -- something that
more accomplished and experienced teams probably
could not handle.
San Francisco has SEVEN days to get ready for this game.
They have already beaten Santa Clara by eight -- out-
rebounding them by seven -- in Santa Clara, which qualifies
them to blow them out on this floor, given the teams'
situations coming into this. In WCC play, the Dons have by
far the best turnover margin (+2.7) forcing 17.2 turnovers
per game while committing just 14.5. It's Senior Night, too!
SAN FRANCISCO WINS :mj06:
