SANTA CLARA, Calif. (Interstat) β€” A surging Santa Clara squad looks to continue its dominant run through West Coast Conference play when it hosts a Seattle team seeking stability Wednesday night at Leavey Center. The Broncos (21-5), winners of nine straight, are firmly in the conference title chase. They are coming off a high-octane 96-92 road victory at Washington State on Saturday, powered by a career-high 30 points from junior guard Allen Graves. Graves has been a consistent force, averaging nearly 17 points per game during the win streak and providing versatile defense. They face a Seattle Redhawks team (15-10) still stinging from a last-second 54-53 loss at Portland on Saturday. The Redhawks have shown resilience but struggle with consistency, alternating wins and losses in their last six games. Seattle will lean on forward Jun Seok Yeo, who scored 14 points in the Portland defeat and had 18 in a win over Pepperdine last week. His interior presence will be critical against a physical Santa Clara frontcourt. The Broncos have been nearly unbeatable at home, with their last loss at Leavey Center coming against Gonzaga on Jan. 8. Their offense has been explosive, surpassing 85 points in six of their last nine contests. For Seattle, containing Graves and disrupting Santa Clara’s offensive rhythm will be the primary challenge. The Redhawks have proven they can compete with top teams, taking Gonzaga to overtime last month, but have faltered in close road games. This matchup marks the only scheduled meeting between the programs this season. Santa Clara will aim to use its depth and home-court advantage to extend its streak, while Seattle hopes to spring a road upset and improve its postseason positioning. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. PST.
