San Diego, Wednesday, Ma,ch 8, 1978
Now the world has come round to St Palri~k's Day again, and if the sun did not come up green this morning, most certainly It will go down bloodshot-red this evening. St. Patrick was a teetotaler, actually - probably the last Irishman to admit it. But it was he, Erin's patron saint, who was sup- posed to have introduced whiskey (however unintentionally) in that land; the story going that he encountered, toward the end of a Jong proselyting, a man at the side of the hasdt.

ls, you \\Ould jump at a chance to be called some- thmg else" w1~1rs-~ as Toreros stay alive BY JERRY REllMERS TR IIUNE s,omwrtttr NORTHRIDGE, Calif -There's a newspaper clipping in the locker room of the University of san Diego that the team•~ basketball players have been reading for the past month. It Is a story from a San Fernando Valley paper quoting :-.orthridge State basketball coacb Pete Cassidy after hls team lost to the Toreros 76- 62 on Jan. 7 Cassidy said he considered that defeat an upset by a "weakling team." Well, the "weakllng.s" last night outmuscled and outplayed a physi- cally stronger Puget Sound Universi- ty team 91-85. N v rthel Cassidy already has predicted that starting at 9 o'clock tonight, his team will defeat those same •·weaklings' in the NCAA Di- vision II Western Regional finals. , ·orthrid~ (22-6). like San Diego, won Its opening-round game last mght by trouncing hapless UC-Davis by a margin \\Orse than the score, 79-73, Indicates Weaklings? "We'll who that ls tonight,'' chuckled D's 6-7 center- forward Bu1.z Harnett To hear the USD players and coach talk, they w1ll absolutely stomp the Matadors mwhat obv10us- ly has turned tonight's game mto a battle of one-upsmanshlp. So go the ps ching games played come tournament-time in small col- lege ba ketball It s ems highly unlikely the :-.orthridge coach really could con- sider San Diego a -weakling after the way the Toreros manhandled the burly Puget Sound team last night. Harnett, playing m his 103rd ca- reer game for USD, was particularly lmpo~ing. He scored 20 pomts, grabbed 10 rebounds, blocked two shots and dished out four ass1Sts But those cold statistics don't shOw the type of performance Harnett had because four of his points were slam dunks that came at periods during the game that seemed lo lake any momentum away from Puget Sound. Also outmusclmg Puget Sound were 6-5 fornard Rick Michlemore, who cored 15 points, and fre&hman substitute Bob Bartholomew, who added 12. It was Harnett, .Michlemore, Bar- tholomew and senior sub guard Mike Strode who kept the Toreros in the game during the first half which ended 38-38. In that half, high-scoring guard Ron Cole was benched for 17 min- utes by Coach Jim Broveill after Cole picked up three quick fouls and only two points However, Cole came charging back In the second half to add 18 points and provide the scoring spark the Toreros needed in the1r triumph For San Diego (21-6) It was the ninth win m a row and first time in three tries it ever has advanced in the first round of the playoffs. The Toreros lost opening rounds to Sono- ma State in 1974 and to Bakersfield State in 1973 Actually, USD and Northrldge State played e ch other twice earlier this season. See USD, C-4
