With a win over LMU, a BYU loss at Portland (Wednesday, 7:30 p.m.) and a Pepperdine loss vs. Pacific (Wednesday, 3 p.m.), the Broncos will clinch at least a share of their second consecutive WCC Championship and would earn the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Santa Clara holds the tiebreaker over BYU thanks to winning the head-to-head matchup.
