The Broncos took the court against Loyola Marymount Monday without WCC leading scorer Kevin Foster; they suffered their seventh straight loss.
RECAP: LMU 74, Santa Clara 62
The news doesn't get any better for Santa Clara, as it appears Foster is in some trouble. He was held out of Monday's loss because of a violation of team policy.
Usual starters Evan Roquemore, Niyi Harrison and John McArthur also violated team policy, and began Monday's game on the bench. Unlike Foster, they were worked into the action.

Foster, a redshirt Junior, just passed Steve Nash and is now listed as fourth on the Broncos' all-time leading scorers list with 1,691 points.
