The Broncos (16-10, 6-4) picked up a big win on Thursday as they lead near wire-to-wire en route to a 79-53 victory over Pacific. Five Broncos scored in double figures led by double-double outings by Jake Ensminger (17 points, 10 rebounds) and Johnny O'Neil (14 points, 10 rebounds). Camaron Tongue nearly made it a third as he pulled down nine rebounds to go with his 10 points. Tyeree Bryan and Camaron Tongue also tallied 10 points in the winning effort. The Broncos dominated on the boards with a whopping 56 against just 28 for the Toreros. It is the Broncos' highest rebound total since Nov. 11, 2011 against UC Merced, and their most against a WCC opponent since March 6, 1989 against LMU (58). 

San Diego has won their last four games dating back to their first meeting with the Broncos - a 70-59 affair in the Leavey Center. The Toreros check in right behind Santa Clara in the WCC standings with a 6-6 record and are 16-11 overall. They are averaging 73.4 points and 34.9 rebounds per game and rank third in the WCC in both 3-point shooting (35.8) and 3-point defense (32.5). The Toreros feature a great scoring duo in Wayne McKinney III (14.7) and Deuce Turner (14.6), who rank eighth and ninth in scoring in the WCC, respectively. PJ Hayes ranks 14th nationally (2nd in WCC) with a 42.8 percent mark from beyond the arc.
