A Century of Success for Broncos Basketball
Men’s basketball at Santa Clara University has changed a lot in the 100 seasons since the Broncos first hosted a team. That first season consisted of only two games, instead of the typical 29 of a regular season now. The Broncos won the initial game against Alameda High School with a score of 9-7—a far cry from the high-scoring games against tough collegiate competitors currently hosted in the 4,500-seat Leavey Center.
Since that first game in 1905 (a few seasons without a team in the early years and the cancellation of a season during World War II explains the passage of more than 100 years for 100 seasons of play), the Broncos have racked up some impressive statistics: 11 NCAA tournament invites; a dozen All-Americans; a No. 2 national ranking; and 14 players who have moved on to the NBA.
