It was a packed house at the Jenny Craig Pavilion on Thursday, November 31 st for the college basketball game between the University of San Diego and San Diego State. The USD students came out in full force to watch their team take on the mighty Aztecs. Holding Ron Burgundy and Nicholas Cage fat heads and screaming all game long, the student section was rowdy from the beginning. Entering the game, the Toreros were attempting to win their sixth game in a row, while the Aztecs were looking to rebound after a loss to Washington State. From the tip, SDSU point guard Devin Watson controlled the pace of the game.   He was relentless, attacking the paint at will as well as shooting from the outside. After a couple of early layups by Watson, the quick point guard then hit a 3-pointer with 10:32 remaining in the first half to put SDSU ahead 16-8. Around this time period, SDSU Coach Brian Dutcher elected to go zone, and it made a big difference. The Aztec...

It was quite the spectacle in Rimac Arena at UCSD’s campus on Monday, November 27th. The pep band, media personnel, alumni, coaches, players, and even the mascot were in all attendance for an announcement that has “been a long time coming” for UCSD athletics. UCSD’s athletic director, Earl Edwards, announced the big news of the day: The University will be moving to the division 1 level in the fall of 2020. More specifically, UC San Diego will be joining the Big West Conference. At the event, Edwards, the Chancellor, the Mayor, and the former Mayor were all seated on the front of the stage. Each of these individuals took turns speaking about what this move means for UCSD and the community. The school Chancellor, Pradeep Khosla, began the press event and said that the move will “significantly increase visibility” and “elevate the student experience.” “The timing of this D1 move could not be better,” Khosla said. “UC San Diego is currently undergoing a physical, intellect...

Point Loma and UCSD squared off in a local regular season game on Tuesday, November 14 th at Golden Gymnasium in Point Loma. Coming into the game, UCSD (0-2) was trying to obtain its first win of the season, while Point Loma (2-2) was looking for a big win after losing a couple of early heart-breakers.   After last season’s 14-point loss to UCSD, Point Loma was looking for a different outcome in this year’s matchup. Although UCSD lost a lot of firepower from last year, most specifically graduating CCAA Player of the Year Adam Klie, the Lions were still going to have their hands full with an athletic and talented Tritons team. As was expected, UCSD controlled the first half of the game with a balanced scoring attack. The Tritons shot 55.2 percent from the field and set the pace of the game from the tip-off. With a methodical half-court offense, the Tritons offense slowly wore down the Point Loma defense in the first half. After a dagger UCSD 3-pointer by Eric ...
