FINAL RECORD
15-16 overall, 6-8 in WCC, fourth place.

WHAT WENT RIGHT
John Bryant and Brody Angley crossed that barrier from potential standout player to standout player, becoming the go-to guys and producing impressive numbers.

The team adapted pretty well to new coach Kerry Keating, who probably made the best use of his personnel that he could. The team finished fourth despite losing three all-conference players from the year before and remained competive with every tem in the conference.

WHAT WENT WRONG
A team cannot be a contender until it learns to win close games, and the Broncos never did that.

Brody Angley had to play heavy minutes because the team had no adequate backup at point guard, and late-season injuries to Zac Tiedeman and Andrew Zimmerman did not help matters. Bryant's scoring decreased over the season as team's focused their defensive attention on him, and the Broncos had trouble finding alternatives.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"We're getting to the level where we're on par with Gonzaga, which evens the playing field. It makes life easier and better." -- Santa Clara senior Mitch Henke.
