"It seems that in years before we were a second-half team," said Thompson, who finished with team highs for points with 17 and assists with four. "We've been a first half team this year. We have to do some- thing about the second half." In the first half, the Toreros scored 10 straight points Ill turn a 19-18 defi- cit into a 28-19 advantage on the way to a 30-23 halftime lead. USO went on another 12-point run early in the second half as junior transfer Marty Munn, a 6c6 forward, collected six of bis eight points with two three-pointers Childs countered with a three-pointer and Munn came back with a jumper inside the key to make it 48-33 with 10:40 remaining.

We ·hould have sustained our!ead" Said Egan· "We played our butts off for the first 13 minutes in the second half and then ju.st quit play- ing. We came down a bunch of limes without getting a shot off. You can't just hope to wm. I thmk just stalled ouL We stopped competing. "We were lucky But that doesn't hurt, either."
