Justice, Williams lead Santa Clara past Portland 95-86
Santa Clara meets sixth-seeded Pacific in the second round on Friday.
Justice, who missed the previous four games with a concussion, made five 3-pointers and Williams three as Santa Clara (11-7) was 10-of-21 from behind the arc.
Williams fired a dazzling bounce pass through traffic, perfectly leading Christian Carlyle, who scored, was fouled and converted the three-point play, extending a late four-point lead to 83-76 with under three minutes to play.
Carlyle finished with 14 points, as did Guglielmo Caruso while DJ Mitchell chipped in 12.
