The 1994–95 Santa Clara Broncos men's basketball team represented Santa Clara University in the 1994-95 Season. Led by head coach Dick Davey, the Broncos finished with a record of 21-7, and a WCC record of 12-2, placing first in the West Coast Conference. After losing in the first round of the West coast Conference tournament to Loyola Marymount,[2] the school received an at-large bid into the NCAA tournament, where they were beaten by Mississippi State in the first round.[3] Throughout the season, Canadian point guard Steve Nash was a standout performer for the Broncos, winning the WCC Player of the Year. Following the season, Nash would contemplate entering the NBA draft, but elected to return for his senior season.
