In 1995-96, Santa Clara finished 20-9 overall (10-4) and shared the WCC regular-season title with Gonzaga. Behind the guard play of Steve Nash (17.0 points per game) and Marlon Garnett (12.8), Davey's squad made its third trip in a four-year span, including second straight, to the NCAAs. The Broncos did not lose two in a row all season and won at Gonzaga in the last game of the regular season to clinch a share of the WCC crown. It marked only the second time in program history and the first since the 1968-69 and 1969-70 seasons that SCU won two-straight conference titles. Nash claimed his second WCC Player of the Year award, senior Brendan Graves was named to first-team all-league and Garnett earned an honorable mention nod.

After being knocked out of the 1996 WCC Tournament, Santa Clara earned an at-large berth as a No. 10 seed, again in the West Regional.

In opening-round action in Tempe, Arizona, Santa Clara upset seventh-seeded Maryland, 91-79, led by a game-high 28 points from Nash and 18 from Garnett. But an Elite Eight participant once again knocked the Broncos out of the NCAAs as second-seeded Kansas was victorious in a second-round meeting.
