Loss to USD underscores SDSU's lack of weapons, experience By Brian Brown 'l... q 'Jc( •1arr rlttr (l Making a bad situation worse, SDSU lost its patience after falling "We'll do one thing right and then

what SDSU has is mostly a group of well-meaning, inexperienced players who need a bit more polish. SDSU was in a hole very early against USD, trailing by 32-7 midway through the first half. The Aztecs may be slightly quicker than the Toreros, but even that meager ad- vantage is meaningless because a transition game starts with a re- bound. Because USD shot 62 percent m the first half, there weren't a lot of rebounds to be had. But that was al- most incidental. The Aztecs, lacking size, will find it difficult to dominate the boards this season.

Murray, playing last night with his left thigh taped, was no match for USO 7-0 center Scott Thompson, who scored 21 points playing barely half the game. "I was trying to deny him the ball, box him out so we could get our run- ning game started," Murray said. "But he was hitting those baseline jumpers. He's a very good player." The Aztecs might be able to com- pensate for the lack of a dominant center if there was a dominant play- er elsewhere on the court. Instead,

Pound-for-pound and inch-for-inch, USD is simply a better team. The Aztecs may have played poorly, but the more important question is, can they do better? Gaines' team is 0-3, ana in each game a victory ha n't even been in sight. In the first, UC-Santa Barbara had a 17-point cushion. The winning margin for Arizona, which played here a week ago, was 32. The trouble for the Aztecs starts at center. They don't have one. Gerald Murray, who is a tad small at 6-foot-8 and at least 10 pounds too heavy at 265, might turn out to be a decent center But he has suffered a
