Gonzaga vs Santa Clara: How to watch Thursday’s college basketball game

Gonzaga men's basketball faces a tough matchup at home against Santa Clara on Thursday before hitting the road to Saint Mary's this weekend.

SPOKANE, Wash. — The Gonzaga Bulldogs have two tough matchups in the West Coast Conference this week. The marquee game comes on Saturday as No. 12 Gonzaga faces No. 18 Saint Mary’s on the road. However, the Bulldogs will not want to overlook a tough home game against Santa Clara on Thursday.

The Zags are back up to No. 12 in the latest AP Poll after a stunning loss to Loyola Marymount in mid-January. Gonzaga is 18-4 overall this season, and second in the WCC with a 7-1 conference record.

Santa Clara likely needs a win against Gonzaga to keep its slim NCAA Tournament hopes alive. The Broncos are 16-7 overall this season and fourth in the WCC with a 4-4 conference record. Three of those conference losses have come against Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s.

For those of you wondering what channel the Gonzaga-Santa Clara game is on, here are the details.

Bulldogs vs Broncos

With a huge game against Saint Mary’s on the horizon, Gonzaga will need to make sure the team stays focused, as Santa Clara comes to the Kennel on Thursday.

The Zags are looking to get a new home winning streak going after Loyola Marymount snapped a 75-game home winning streak earlier this season.

In Gonzaga’s last game, the Zags beat Portland 82-67 on the road. Julian Strawther had a career night, scoring 40 points, including eight 3-pointers. Strawther earned WCC Player of the Week honors for his effort.
