Josip Vrankic - Logs 12 points in return Vrankic closed Tuesday's 72-60 loss to Boise State with 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two steals in 23 minutes.
Impact Vrankic made his return to the starting lineup after missing the previous eight games due to mono, and he tied a team-high with 12 points. He was under a minutes restriction and logged a season-low 23 minutes as a result. That should continue to increase as he works his way back, as the fifth-year senior's offense will be needed with the Broncos going 4-4 in his absence.

PJ Pipes - Continues to struggle Pipes contributed seven points (3-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 72-60 loss to California.
Impact Pipes was one of only two Santa Clara starters to be held in single digits, missing both of his long range attempts and only shooting 33 percent from the field. His three turnovers were also a team-high. After a strong start to the season, Pipes has cooled off as of late, averaging 6.5 points on 24 percent shooting over the last four games.

Miguel Tomley - Scores 12 off bench Tomley finished Saturday's 78-75 loss to Louisiana Tech with 12 points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and three rebounds in 25 minutes.
Impact Tomley had played sparingly coming into the game but saw a season-high 25 minutes and responded with 12 of the Broncos' 17 bench points. Santa Clara has mostly gone with a limited rotation with Josip Vrankic out, with the starters typically playing 30+ minutes. Tomley may be earning more playing time, however, as he's shown to be a capable three-point shooter.

Josip Vrankic - Still looking at multi-week absence Vrankic (mono) is set to miss a few more weeks, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact This is the exact same timeline that was reported one week ago, so it doesn't appear as if Vrankic is much closer to a return to the court after coming down with mononucleosis. The fifth year senior had been averaging 16.3 points and 6.7 rebounds through the first three games, but the Broncos will now have to turn to a combination of Parker Braun and Jaden Bediako to hold down the fort, at least until WCC play begins.

Impact Justice stepped up with a season-high 20 points on the strength of four three pointers and is now shooting 50 percent from long-range this season. The senior has been heavily involved during the absence of Josip Vrankic, averaging 34.8 minutes over those four games and has reached double figures in all seven games thus far.

Josip Vrankic - Expected to be out a few weeks Coach Herb Sendek said that Vrankic (illness) will be out for a few weeks, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Vrankic is battling mono and did not play on Monday against TCU. It sounds like the 6-9 forward will miss the next handful of games, which leaves 16.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 6.0 assists to be absorbed somewhere in their rotation.
