Santa Clara is in the midst of another strong season under Herb Sendek. The Broncos have won 20 games nearly every year since 2019-20. The only exception was the COVID-affected 2020-21 season.
With Santa Clara pushing Saint Mary’s for the West Coast’s de facto No. 2 spot this year, there’s increasing chatter about whether or not the Broncos could nab an at-large bid for the NCAA Tournament.
That case is aided by strong metrics and a multi-year track record of winning.

Santa Clara NCAA Tournament Prediction
I am predicting Santa Clara will not make the NCAA Tournament without winning the WCC automatic bid.
While I’m personally in favor of lifting most mid-majors on the bubble into the NCAA Tournament, the selection committee in recent years has been much more interested in making the NCAA Tournament a contest of big brands.
