2025-26 WCC / Santa Clara Previews

It’s that time of year again…previews are starting to leak out. Most of the ones this early are of suspect quality, but I’ll link them as I find them.

One of the perennial best previews is from the guys at Three-Man Weave. They devoted an entire episode to the WCC this time around, but I gotta say that it doesn’t feel like some of their best work–perhaps their written preview will be more illuminating. That said, they can actually name more than 1-2 members of each WCC squad which feels like a success when you wade through some of the other league previews that get cranked out. 3MW is not terribly optimistic about SCU. Their bold take is that USF may just be better than SMC this year which…does qualify as a bold take. Newbury is back for the Dons, though, so the Hilltop should be tough as ever this season.

Another preview, this time courtesy of the Wazzu Sports Illustrated page, is closer to the mean–you will not learn any new info here, but I’ve got it linked anyways for the true addicts.

Not sure if everyone’s been keeping up with the Santa Clara Basketball Podcast lately, but the last two episodes are about the upcoming 2025-2026 season, and they share some cool insights about the players. It’s definitely worth a listen!

This was absolutely terrific for anyone really tracking the Broncos. I can’t wait to see this team in action. Great kids and super-talented too. Go Broncos.

I am totally psyched about this year’s team. I also think we need to give kudos to last year’s. That was one heck of a team and with just a few more wins might have been in the Big Dance. They beat Gonzaga at Gonzaga, and did it by the most points anyone had ever done that. What a great team and year! The current team looks amazing but they have big shoes to fill. Remember, the 2024/2025 team was so good it had Jake, Cam, Brenton, Bukky and Kosy coming off the bench! If this year’s team exceeds them it will be quite a triumph. Go Broncos.
