USD MEN'S BASKETBALL AND KSDO RADIO JOIN FORCES FOR 1991-92 For the first time in school history, all 27 regular season games plus the West Coast Conference post-season tournament and early exhibition games will be carried, home and away, live on San Diego's KSDO Radio (1130 AM) beginning with the 1991-92 season. Veteran sportscaster Ron Reina, KSDO Sports Director, will handle the game broadcasts that include a pre-game and post-game show for every Toreros basketball game. Ron started his broadcasting career in Stockton, California where he began doing the play-by-play announcing for football, basketball and minor league baseball games. He was known as the "Voice" of University of Pacific football and basketball games between 1967-69. After moving to San Diego in 1969, Ron took over the play-by-play for San Diego State football and basketball games on KDEO Radio until 1972.
