12-4 Burst In Last Ha f Resolv s It By BILL CENTER "This is the greatest win ever ... the finest hour of our fi1w,t year." Those wern the words of U111- versity of San Diego basketball coach Berme Bickerstaff last night after his TorC'ros an- swered the coach's dream of four years. They beat the Aztecs of Cali- fornia State Umversity, San Diego. 78-67, before a screaming, standing - room • only crowd of 2,100 in the USD gym. THEY'RE DRAWING OUT And the Toreros were pulling away at the finish. "This has gotta be my big- gest win." Bickerstaff said while ~njoying the sunlight af• ter living four years in the shadow of the school on Monte- zuma Mesa. "Our kids did a fanlas1 :c Job. When we were down, we just kept coming." The Toreros kept coming be- hind the play of Reibert I Pinky) Smith, a 6 fool-6 10 2 junior for- ward. In the second half Smit 1 1 h1t for 19 points dcspi1e being handicapped by foul problems. Eight of his pomts came while USD was outscoring the Aztecs liy a 12-4 clip and moving lo a lead 1t never surrendered. AN ANGRY AFl<'AIR It was a frantic game spiced by confrontations between A7.- tec coach Dick Davis and offi- cial Doug Harvey. _ Davis hollered at \he official throughout the first half and Harvey responded by taggmg Davis '9ith two technicals, one .in each half. In the second half, Harvey whistled the Aztecs down 17 timrs on fouls and v10- latlons. He blew his whistle sev- en times on GSO. Afterwards Davis followed Harvey to the officials' dress- ing room. And the coach was even hotter after being turned away at the door. "HE' called me 'a (c nsnred) coach,' " said Davis of the meeting. "It's not his plare to say that. And I hope you pnnt that. "I told Doug he did a lousy job and I called him incom- petent." Harvey slammed the door +o the officials' room and refused to offer a rebuttal. But there was no stopping the Toreros this night. USO shot 46 per cent, the Az- tecs 31 per cent. And lhe To- reros outbattled the Aztecs in the decisive fin,11 minutes after San Diego State had fought back to \lo i1 hm a haskel at 6:1-61.
