EVENING TRIIUNE Oi'PC!tch EAGLE ROCK - Point Loma College already has lost two starting players on its basketball team as 1t prepares to enter the NAIA Ill playoffs tonight at Occidental College. Guard Pat Hedman and forward Bill Job have been sidelined with ankle injuries, Coach Ben Foster said. However, "if everybody chips in and plays the way they are supposed to," Foster said, "we won't be all that bad off." Pomt Loma (19-8) plays Redlands University (10-15) in the second game or the so-called "mini-tournament." In the opener, Biola (17-13) plays Azusa Pacific (14-16). The winners of these two games return Saturday ror a chance of advancing to the championship rounds Monday and Wednesday. A total of seven teams are in the tourney. Hedman has his Iefi ankle in a cast following an injury suffered in Point Lorna's final season game, an 81-61 loss lo Southern Caliiornia College, Job twisted an ankle in the team's practice Tuesday, Foster said, and "definitely will be out for tonight's game." "I hope the inJunes don't create a bad mental problem for the other players," Foster said. "I don't think that will happen, however, since our game plans are not designed around any individual super stars." Foster said Art Leahy, a 6-4 forward. will start at one guard position in place or Hedman. He said 6-6 center See CRUSADERS, D-4

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - "I think we got the toughest draw In this tournament," said University of San Diego basketball coach Jim Brovelli. "And, that's good." With a feeling of confidence, the USD team (20-6) takes the floor tonight in the Northridge State College gymnasi- um against rugged Pugel Sound (19-9) in Round One of the NCAA JI western regional playorrs. "They are a very experienced playorr learn," BroveW was saymg "For us, it's Just another ga!Tl'. We're happy to be playing them." Indeed, tonight's preliminary game to the nlghtcap between Northr1dge State (2!-6) and UC-Davis (ls-8) promises to be an intriguing test !or the lads from San Diego. Tonight's winners play for the title tomorrow. "Pugel Sound is by far the biggest learn we have played affseason," said Brovelli. The Loggers rrom Tacoma, Wash., have a big team, all right. Their sizes be/Jl the learn name. The guards are IHI Tim Evans and &-5 Rocky Botts. The forwards are 11-5 Rick Walker and 6-8 Steve Freimuth. The center Is 6-8 Joe Leonard. Evans and Walker are NCAA II All-Amer1cans left over from last year's squad. They have won their last six in a row, mcluding a 99-75 rout over Portland Stale Monday night. They arc the 13th best defenSJve team in the nation, holding opponents to 65.5 points per game Set USD, D-4 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 0-1 They are ranked seventh m the nation among NCAA II learns in beating opponents decisively - by a 12.9-poinl margin. But, they are beatable, obviously. USD beat them 74-72 in San Diego Jan. &. The Toreros not only beat them that night in sconng but also in rebounds, 34-29. "We can beat them by pressuring them at both ends of the court," Brovelll said. "I know we are quicker." Brovelll's winning formula he's doling out to his players is pre$Sure, speed and control or the boards. "By stopping them from what they are looking to do orlens1vely, Itlhnk, is the key," BroveW said. Pugel Sound Coach Don Zech is a wtnner. In 10 years as head Logger basketball coach, he has guided his learn to the playoffs seven times. His record ,s 196-87 for a .693 winning clip dUrtng lhal decade. · USO has a. j\"innlng record, too. In the last sil< years USD is 42-20 against NCAA II teams. That's a .677 winning percentage. Brovelli is in his fourth year as head coach of the Toreros. He is 81-50 in that span for a 623 Wlnnlng record. But, Brovelli can't score a point ror USO. Thal corns on the floor from some good basketball players he h.d rounded up over the years, seven or them seniors on this team. The semors are Buzz Harnett, Rick Michelmore, Ron Cole, William Stewart, Ted Peterson, Mike Strode and Mike Larch-Miller. Four or those seniors will start tonight. The big men to counter Puget Sound's bulk are &-7 Harnett who is bemg shifted to center ror tonight's game and forwards Mi- chlemore and Stewart, both 6-5. The guards are 6--4 Cole and 6--0 Mike Slockalper. For those who follow USD basketball, such a lineup may come as a surprise. What's different is Harnett's switch to center and the rare starting assignments for M1chelmore and Stock- alper. "Thu;_ is our best lineup for a learn like Puget Sound," Brovell1 explained. Harnett \\ill play center m place of freshman Bob Bartholomew who BroveW said would be the first sub off the bench. Michelmore starts over Mike Larch-Miller because or his scoring punch and superior rebounding performances m USD's late season drJve which saw it win its last eight straight Stockalper got the call over Strode who has ~n slowed by a sore back. ''I'll tell you that those two lreshrr).en - Ba[thOlomew and Stockalper - have just been superb. ' the coach said. "Stockalper, especJa!ly, has gotten the complete respect of the seniors." Despite the minor lineup changes for tonight's game, the players could care less. "We're going 10 win 11 au," said lion COie. -"I mean tM . nal championship." J *USO

• LOS ANGELES 1UPII The University of San Diego, utilizing an enormous free throw advantage, won its opening round game Thurs- day night against the University of Puget Souod . 91-85 in the NCAA Division 2 western regionals.

Toreromania? USD players say it's highly contagious By JERRY REMMERS TIUIUNli 5"ril. Wriltr NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - Ron Cole, the slick 6-3 guard of the Unlversity or San Diego basketball team calls it "Toreromania." Cole ck'lines It as a fever the entire country may soon hear about as the _USD 1orero basketball team advances ever so competently towards a nal!onal title. Some 750 rans rrom San Diego helped fill the 3,100-seat gymnasium on_ the Northrldge State campus here last mght to see the Toreros defeat Northrldge State 70-67 to win the Western Regional NCAA II championship. .

University of San Diego, playing cautious defense and staying out or foul trouble except for one player, used super1or scoring from the free throw line to defeat Puget Sound, 91-85, last mght in the semifinals of the NCAA Division JI Western Reginnals al Northridge. The V ctpry hiked the Toreros' rd to 21-6 and sends . Into tonight's 9 o'clock fegional lrnals

against host Northridge State which defeated UC Davis last night, 79-73. Puget Sound ended with a 19-10 record. At Occidental College, Redlands University took a four-point advantage at the intermission and led the en- tire second half to knock Point Lorn~ College out of the NAIA District 8 tourna- ment, 64-60. The Crusaders ended the

season with a 19-9 record in losing to a club seeded sev- enth in the tournament. Point Loma was seeded fourth. Tony Tyson scored 12 points and Mike Wllliams and Tom Hanley 10 each for the Crusaders. Buzz Harnett and Ron Cole each scored 20 points to pare the Toreros, taking turns in leading the Winner's attack in each half. Rick Mi- (Contlnued on 0-%, Col. 3)

Seconds alter Cole sank the deci- sive wlnmng basket, most of the fans stormed onto the court to mob and congratulate the San Diego players and coaches. USD, the Cinderella team, now plays the winner of the Southern Regional tournament Friday. Flori- da Tech and Florida A&M play for tha Southern championship tonlghl. USD stands an exrellent chaoce of playing host to that tournament m its own gym, where they almost never lose. The quarterfinals for the Western Regional champions or1gl· nally was lo be played In the Deep South. However, USD Dean of Students and Athletic Director Thomas Burke said the NCAA informed him yester- day the game may be played at USD because or a lack of facilities at three of the four southern schools playing this week in the tournament. The NCAA will make Its selection tomorrow, Burke sald. Meanwhile, the game of basket- ball played last night was a thriller, even for the Northridge Stale folks. The two teams battled in a titanic duel In the first hall with It endlng 30-22 with USD on top. The Toreros stretched that lead to 11 points early in the second hall before the Matadors made one of their patented comebacks. With 2: 33 left, the Matadors finally tied il 61-61. USD's Rick Michlemore untied lt at 63-63 with two free • t ~28 teomp,al~JI~ Stewarct ad ed a laym.,e provided another Iayln to put the game out of reach. The win brings USD's season record to 22-6, and advances il far- ther than the two previous tries USO has had in playoff compeUUon. Coming Into the tournament, USO was by no means the odds-on favor- ite. That role belonged to Puget Sound, who the Toreros beat Thurs- day night 91-65 Puget Sound showed Its stuff by defeating UC-Davis In the consola- Uon bracket last night 96-73. In winning, the Toreros shot only 39 percent of their attempts from the field but they did manage to get off 75 shots to Northrldge's 57, of whlch 51 percent were successful. Cole's 24 points paced the Toreros' scoring attack and landed him a berth on the all-tournament team. Stewart scored 19. USD's center Bu,z Harnett, who scored 20 Thursday nlght, collected only sil< last night along wtth five rebounds. However, his defensive play - including a blocked Shot In the waning seconds of the game - was sensational. Cole, who picked up three fouls in the first hall, scored 18 of his points In the second hall, hall of them from 15 to 20 reet. "I llke lo play aggressive like that," Cole said. "Man, what about that crowd of ours we had here? That is Toreromanla and It will carry us to the naUonal champion- ship." The nationals, should USO survive the quarterfinals, will be played at Southwest Missouri College in Springfield, Mo. March 17-18. A phSyically exhausted Harnett said, "This was a team effort tonight." Harnett said he was "real- ly happy for Ronnie (Cole). I hope the team can get some ink (in the San Diego papers) and national rec- ognition.
