  • The Broncos are the only team in the WCC with three players averaging 14.0 ppg or better (Jalen Williams, Josip Vrankic and Keshawn Justice). 

  • The Broncos are ranked 14th nationally and behind only Gonzaga in the WCC in FG percentage this season with a 48.5 percent clip. 

  • Four of five Bronco Starters are averaging 10.0 ppg or better in league play. 

  • Santa Clara leads the WCC in fewest fouls committed with just 14.5 per game.

  • Keshawn Justice is playing at an elite level as the only player in NCAA D1 to average 44.2 percent shooting or better from 3-point range while averaging 7.5 rebounds per game. In fact, no other player that is shooting that well from 3 is averaging more than 4.7 rebounds per game.

  • Josip Vrankic is coming off his fourth 20-point game of the season (20 vs. Pacific) and is now just 10 points shy of tying for the 10th most career points in program history.
