SAN BRUNO, Calif. – Santa Clara is well-represented in the 2025-26 West Coast Conference Men's Basketball All-Conference Awards as announced by the conference office on Tuesday. Herb Sendek was tabbed as the conference's Coach of the Year for the first time in his 10-year tenure, Allen Graves won both Freshman and Sixth Man of the Year, and a trio of Broncos are among the 10-man All-WCC First Team.

Sendek is just the third head coach in NCAA Division 1 history to win coach of the year at four different programs and four different conferences, joining Dana Altman and Rick Pitino. The Pittsburgh native previously won the award at Arizona State (Pac-10), North Carolina State (Atlantic Coast Conference) and Miami (Ohio) (Mid-American Conference).

Sendek's Broncos completed the regular season with a 24-7 overall record – the second-most regular-season wins in program history and tied for third-most wins in a season overall. They also broke the program record for conference victories with a 15-3 mark in league play and finished third in the WCC for the third time over the last five seasons.

Sendek is the first Santa Clara head coach to win WCC Coach of the Year since Dick Davey took home the award for the fourth time in 2006-07. He joins Davey, Dick Garibaldi and Bob Feerick as the only Broncos to win the award since its inception in 1952-53.

Graves is the 10^th Bronco in program history to win WCC Freshman or Newcomer of the Year, and is the first since 2022-23 when Brandin Podziemski was both the league's newcomer and player of the year. He is the first Bronco freshman to win the award since Jared Brownridge in 2013-14. The Ponchatoula, La., product also became the first Bronco to win the WCC's Sixth Man of the Year Award in its six years of existence.

Graves is, unsurprisingly, one of the three Broncos on the All-WCC First Team, joining sophomore Christian Hammond and senior Elijah Mahi. The three first-team honorees are tied for the most in program history with the 2006-07 team.

A six-time WCC Freshman of the Week honoree, Graves came off the bench for all 18 of Santa Clara's conference games to average 13.5 points on 57.5 percent shooting, including a 41.7 percent mark from 3-point range. He led the team and was seventh in the WCC in rebounding with 6.6 per game and was third in the league with 2.1 steals per game. Graves scored in double figures in all but three games of conference play and tied for the team lead in double-digit rebounding efforts with three. His biggest game of the year came on the road against Washington State where he logged 30 points, 13 rebounds, four assists and two steals to help SCU hold off the Cougars with a 96-92 victory in Pullman, Wash. Graves was also selected to the six-man WCC All-Freshman Team.

Hammond led the team and ranked ninth in the WCC in scoring at 15.0 points per game. The Denver native posted the league's fourth-best shooting percentage (48.6) and finished in double-figure scoring in all but four games. Four of those games were 20-point efforts, including a 25-point night against Saint Mary's on Jan. 17 to help SCU pick up their first win over the Gaels since February 2022 with a 62-54 triumph in Leavey Center. He was awarded WCC Player of the Week honors following that performance against the Gaels.

A preseason All-WCC selection, Mahi won WCC Player of the Week twice over the course of the 18-game schedule and was the team's second-leading scorer at 13.7 points. The Toronto product also averaged 4.3 rebounds and was eighth in the WCC with 1.7 steals per game. He began WCC play with a 23-point, six-rebound effort at Oregon State on Dec. 28 to win his first player of the week award, and won the award again following a career-best 30-point, seven-rebound, four-steal night at San Francisco on Feb. 21.

This was the first All-WCC honor for all three players.
