when the Toreros (7-3) play Colorado (3-3) at the USD Sports Center. Colorado, which has the tallest starting lineup the Toreros will have seen this season, dropped a 73-72 game to UC Santa Barba- The Buffaloes feature 6-10 sophomore Matt Bul- lard, 6-9 junior Scott Wilke and 6-7 sophomore Dan Becker across the front line. Bullard is the team's leading scorer and reboun- der with 17.2 po,nts and 10 rebounds a game. Wilke is averaging 14.3 points and 5.3 rebounds. Jeff Penix and Ken Countryman comprise Colo- rado's sophomore starting back court. The Buffaloes opened the season with two wins ra last night.

a narrow 59-56 victory. "I think this game will be good for us," said USD coach Hank Egan, who continues to prepare the Toreros for their WCAC opener Jan. 8at Portland. at Portland. "I, think that we need to get some bench, and thats been my fault. I haven't worked with the se rotation. I'm finally starting to do that." T Egan was able to give his reserves plenty of in1 playing time against Loyola after the starters forged a 29-point halftime lead. Junior swingman Marty Munn responded with a career-high 13 points. Freshman swingman Craig Cottrell, who had scored just two points this sea- son, collected seven points as did senior guard Eric Musselman. ., ., . ____..- ----• ------

shes Loyola, 87-60 Madden hits 22 as Toreros build big lead and keep it

But when the score jumped to 72- 37, the starters got a chance to watch the reserves finish up. The 87 points was a season-high for the winners, who host the University of Colorado on Wednesday. USD is 3- 0at home this season. Egan could find little about last mght's game he didn't like, including the fact he could use reserves like Marty Munn, who hit four straight hots in the first half and finished with 13 pomts. Munn didn't play at all m USD's 48-47 victory over R:ce Tuesday. "What's most important is that it's a win," Egan said. "That's not news, but it's what counts. What people don't realize is that if you shoot 60 percent in the f.jrst half and the other team shoots 19 percent, you know that will chaege "Look at the two football games today. Both wmning teams had big leads and the other teams came on strong. When you're behind, especial- ly when you're way behind, you're loose as you can be "The thing is, you can't panic. They (the Greyhounds) closed some to- night, but we continued to play, to do the things we d d in the first half." What USD did in the first half was dominate. Two spurts f 11-0 and one of 13-0

before halftime led to a dizzying 73- percent shooting performance. Scoring was just half the story, as Egan's team played tenacious de- fense against smaller Loyola ( 4-2), dominating the boards, 18-11. Loyola hit only eight of 30 first-half at- tempts from the field. Madden was especially impres- sive, scoring 16 points - one below his previous season high - in the first 20 minutes. "We saw their size (the tallest Greyhound was 6-foot-7) and knew we could go after them," said Mad- den, who has been fighting a flu bug. ''I'd rather play against bigger guys, though. We just did what we were supposed to do. You play a smaller team like this and you're supposed to dominate." The Toreros balanced Madden's in- side game by hitting six three- pointers early on. By game's end, 10 USO players scored, with Paul Leonard (10) join- ing Madden and Munn in double fig- ures. The Toreros shot 60 percent from the field for the game. David Gately, who hit just two of eight shots in the first half, led Loyo- la with 16 points. The only other Greyhound in double figures was Tommy Lee with 14.

Amag1c1an performed at halftime of the Umversity of San Diego-Loyo- la College of Maryland game last night, but by then the Toreros had already done their own disappearing act. Riding Nils Madden's season-high 22 poin , the Toreros romped to an 87-60 v1ctorv before 660 at the USD por Center. As it has done most of the season, U, D (7 3) Jumped out to a lopsided 52-23 alft1me advantage Vet nn 1 oreros followers refused to get too excited. USD has had a penchant this season for bolting out to carh lead , then barely holdmg on. Not thi time. What the fans saw before mterm· 10n is what they got after the break. "At halftime, Coach (Hank Egan) told us to go after it hke it was 0-0, m lead of lcttmg up." said Madden, who was successful on 11 of 14 field- goal alt mpts, all from in close. "He told us to jam it in the hole, to go strong It helped that we were hit- ting outside. When we don't, they triple-team ms1de, they collapse." Collap e 1s a nasty word at USD. That's exactly what the Toreros have done tn the second half all season.
