NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. (AP) – Ben Dowdell 14 points, eight rebounds and two assists as Santa Clara handled Iona 76-69 to win the third annual CollegeInsider.com tournament on Wednesday night.
Kevin Foster had 16 points and the Broncos (24-14) placed five in double figures en route to the easy road victory over the Gaels (25-12). Santa Clara led 38-28 at the half, and outrebounded Iona 39-32.
The loss ruined a thorough performance from Iona’s Michael Glover, who finished with 22 points, 12 rebounds, three blocks and a steal.
The CIT this year featured a 24-team field from 15 different conferences, including the West Coast, the MAAC, Conference USA, the Missouri Valley and the Mountain West. The majority of the teams – understanding they probably weren’t going to get invited elsewhere – signed onto the tournament prior to Selection Sunday.
