On birthday, helps USD win By TJ. Simers taff Writer

It was a difficult week for Mark Bostic, the captain of the University of San Diego basketball team. He was benched for disciplinary reasons after the Loyola Marymount game, and after a week of practice, he learned he would be there again - on the bench - on his birthday for the St. Mary's game. "He didn't win his starting spot back in practice," explained Toreros coach Hank Egan. "Basketball," Bostic said. was now "more business than fun " But Bostic said that before last night s game; after the game he was ta mg a birth y bo for contribut- ing 16 points off the bench in leading ~D to a.,70-61 West Coast Athletic Coiuereiice victory over St. Mary's at the USO Sports Center In winnmg, USO improved its record to 15-8 overall and 5-4 in con- ference. St. Mary's fell to 9-13 and 2· 7. "At times Mark may not believe it," said Egan, but I would like Mark to finish hi~ career in style. I think based on tonight's performance, Mark has earned h!S starting spot back." Bostic certainly finished last night's game in style. As these fairy tales are upposed to end, the ball came to Bostic who was all alone at the USO end of the court. He got a running Jump and stuffed the ball to dramatically finish the game and wipe away all tho fru trations. to the refs after the game; they kmd of let me get away with traveling," said a grinning Bos• tic.

came ID here tonight with an open mmd; I didn't think I had anything to prove. It was a blue-collar night and I went lo the hole like Coach Egan has told me to do." The Toreros were struggling with- out Bosttc m the lineup last night. After scoring but three points m the final 8:03 of the first half, USO found itself lratlmg St. Mary's, 33-26 The seven-point disadvantage, coupled with 12 first-half turnovers, were all the ammunition Egan needed for a rip-snorting halftime speech. "It was from the heart," said Egan. "It wasn't any X's and O's talk." Spurred on by Egan's chat, the Torero · came out of their locker room and scored seven-straight

points to tie the game up at 33-33. They went on to outscore he Gaels 15-4 in the first seven minutes of the second half to take a four-pomt lead, but St. Mary's would not collapse. "It was our best defensive effort of the year," said St. Mary's Coach Bill Oates. but that was before Bostic came into the game.After warming up with three points m the first half, Bostic came m at the 13:03 mark of the second half and scored 13 more. An inside ba ket with 1·34 to go in the game gave the Toreros a 64-59 lead and his game-ending stuff left I 742 fans stomping their feet for Joy. "That was kmd of ictng on the cake," said Bostic USO hit 64 percent of 1t shots m

the second half, and although Bostic sparked the Toreros. it was Pete Murphy and Scott Thompson who steadied them. Murphy, recovering from a disap- pointing weekend where he scored but nine points, was spectacular, not as a shooter, but as a passer last night. He picked up seven assists and put Bostic in a spotlight position. Thompson, too, was forced to be unselfish, but this was not to Egan's liking. The 7-foot center scored the first six points of the game for the Toreros, but never got the ball to score again m the first half. He fin- ished with 17 points, but was obvious- ly frustrated by being overlooked in USD's offense.
