<p>BYU is looking to keep a four game winning streak going, while Santa Clara is looking to snap a two game skid. We'll have another great one for you live in the WCC.</p> <p>BYU will head to Santa Clara tonight with a lot more positive momentum than the Broncos. The Cougars have won four straight games in the West Coast Conference and now stand at 4-2 in league play. Santa Clara, on the other hand, has lost their last two outings and is now 3-4 in the conference.</p>
<p>As always, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/100703/tyler-haws">Tyler Haws</a> has been the story for the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/byu-cougars">BYU Cougars</a>. Haws is now averaging 22.6 points per game which is tied for sixth in the country and leads the West Coast Conference. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/231795/eric-mika">Eric Mika</a>, Matt Carlino, and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/123215/kyle-collinsworth">Kyle Collinsworth</a> are also averaging in double-figures for the Cougars.</p>
<p>Brandon Clarke and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/232061/jared-brownridge">Jared Brownridge</a> continue to lead the struggling 10-10 Broncos. Clark is averaging 17.6 points per game, while Brownridge is averaging 15.9.</p>

<p>Who will take this matchup between teams that haven't quite lived up to the expectations that they themselves set? We present Pacific vs. St. Mary's.</p> <p>Thanks to <a href="http://campusinsiders.com/network/wcc">College Insiders, theW.tv and St. Mary's</a>, we are pleased to bring you a live stream of Saturday's game between the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/pacific-tigers">Pacific Tigers</a> and the St. Mary's Gaels.</p>
<p>The WCC is a mess of a conference right now. We thought Gonzaga was the best. They have taken a loss that no one thought would happen. Or what about BYU and its guard and wing play? They have yet to show up since losing some heartbreakers early on.</p>
<p>St. Mary's was supposed to be up there. They lose leads and get beat by Santa Clara.</p>
<p>So what can St. Mary's do to get back up there? Well, beating Pacific would be a start. The Tigers surprised everyone in the nonconference season. They showed that they were better than maybe anyone expected. They looked to be a force in the WCC this season.</p>
<p>But not so fast. Time to see what happens when these two teams meet with a chance to get some momentum in the league.</p>
<p>Tipoff is at 5 p.m. Pacific, right here on Mid-Major Madness.</p>

<p>Holy Cross scored a big win against Army this week, knocking the Black Knights from the top of the conference. Can they earn another victory against Lehigh?</p> <p>Thanks to <a href="http://campusinsiders.com/network/patriot_league">Campus Insiders, the Patriot League and Holy Cross</a>, we are pleased to bring you this live stream of Saturday's game between the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/lehigh-mountain-hawks">Lehigh Mountain Hawks</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/holy-cross-crusaders">Holy Cross Crusaders</a>.</p>
<p>Holy Cross may have <a href="http://www.midmajormadness.com/2014/1/16/5315984/patriot-league-review-holy-cross-knocks-off-army-two-unbeaten-teams">surprised a few people Thursday night</a> when the Crusaders were able to take out Army. The Black Knights had been living up to the preseason hype given them by... well, us.</p>
<p>But Malachi Alexander was huge off the bench and proved to be the difference. If he can keep his form today, Lehigh might be in a little bit of trouble.</p>
<p>The Mountain Hawks have been scuffling this year, and a lot of that may have to do with relying heavily on Mackey McKnight. The Lehigh star has really stepped up this season, but he hasn't had a lot of help around him.</p>
<p>Can he out work a Holy Cross team that has weapons both inside and out?</p>
<p>We will find out when the two teams tip off at 4 p.m. Eastern, here on Mid-Major Madness.</p>

<p>Gonzaga tries to cap their southern California road trip with two wins as they travel to Loyola Marymount for a game that will be live streamed for free here on Mid-Major Madness.</p> <p>A trip to Malibu and Los Angeles is never bad and might even be productive for Mark Few and his Gonzaga Bulldogs. The Zags are looking to win their second straight move to 6-1 in WCC play after washing the taste of a loss to Portland out of their mouth by dismantling Pepperdine 70-53 on Thursday. Sam Dower lead Gonzaga in the game against the Waves with 18 points and 8 rebounds.</p>
<p><link rel="stylesheet" href="http://cdn3.sbnation.com/assets/3608425/mustreads.css"></p>
<p>Loyola Marymount is just looking for any kind of spark, as the Lions have lost five straight games and all in the WCC. Last time out the Lions failed to defend their home turf falling badly to Portland 71-57 on Thursday. The good news for Lions' fans is Anthony Ireland had another solid outing with 14 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists.</p>
<p>We'll have the game streaming for you live via theW.tv at 1 PM Pacific. We'll also have two other WCC games for you live on Mid-Major Madness at 5PM Pacific.</p>

<p>Colgate and Navy currently sit in the second half of the conference table. That wasn't quite the expectation for one of these teams entering the year.</p> <p>Thanks to the folks at Campus Insiders, the Patriot League and Colgate University, we are pleased to bring you this live stream of Saturday's game between the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/navy-midshipmen" class="sbn-auto-link">Navy Midshipmen</a> and the Colgate Raiders.</p>
<p>Both Navy and Colgate are sitting in the second half of the league standings, a place where one of those teams didn't expect to be.</p>
<p>It is especially painful for Raiders fans when you look at their offensive execution. Here is a team that is second in the Patriot League in offensive efficiency. They can score with the best of them.</p>
<p>But they are also next to last in defensive efficiency and that has caused them to continue to sport a big zero in the win column in conference play. They Raiders blew a game last week against American that they likely should have won. And in other contests, they just haven't been able to turn the tide long enough for the shooting to make a difference.</p>
<p>They may get a break against Navy, who announced this week that <a href="http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/01/15/navy-suspends-leading-scorer-tilman-dunbar-for-remainder-of-season/">Tilman Dunbar is suspended</a> for the remainder of the season. Things could get very bad coming up for the Midshipmen.</p>
<p>Tipoff is at 2 p.m. Eastern, right here at Mid-Major Madness.</p>

<p>American has climbed to the top of the Patriot League with five straight wins to lead off the conference slate. We are still in shock. They look to keep it going against Lafayette on Saturday.</p> <p>Thanks to <a href="http://campusinsiders.com/network/patriot_league">Campus Insiders, the Patriot League and American University</a>, we are pleased to bring you this live stream of today's game between the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/lafayette-leopards">Lafayette Leopards</a> and American Eagles.</p>
<p>Lafayette, oh Lafayette, where for art thou Lafayette? What happened to the team that everyone expected to be right there at the top of the Patriot League?</p>
<p>We know there is that pesky missing Seth Hinrichs. But is that all? Does the entire chances of the team rest on one player?</p>
<p>The pain continued with a 14-point loss to Loyola earlier this week. The Leopards are already down to 9th in our Patriot League Power Rankings; it can't get much worse.</p>
<p>Maybe the defense will round into form today against American, but they have a number of weapons that they need to stop, and that is not going to be easy for them.</p>
<p>The Eagles haven't been undefeated this far into the conference season in more than 10 years. If they can keep the crisp execution going between <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/124386/darius-gardner">Darius Gardner</a>, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/123159/tony-wroblicky">Tony Wroblicky</a>, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/176607/jesse-reed">Jesse Reed</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/145020/john-schoof">John Schoof</a>, the streak will continue.</p>
<p>Tipoff is at 2 p.m. Eastern, right here at Mid-Major Madness.</p>
