season and recently won the unoffi- cial USD long-ball championships with a shot from beyond the out-of- bounds line. Looking back over the season, Manor could remember only one team that outshot the Toreros from three-point range. "Gonzaga hurt us up there," said Manor of USD's last loss, 15 games ago. "We've really had great luck from three-point range. "But we'd rather get the ball inside to Scott." "I like seeing three-point baskets," Thompson said. "I think it's exciting. And when we start getting some three-pointers down, the defenses have to change." At intermission last night, Thomp- son had seven points and two re- bounds, plus three assists. He fin- ished with a game-high 24 points. "You can't concentrate on taking three-point shots," Egan said. "I think the harder you try to make them, the harder it is to get them to fall. That's not exactly true. "Before practices, we try a lot of three-pointers," Munn said. "We have little games. We just fire away." Last night all that unofficial prac- tice paid off. "It's fun to watch a three-pointer fall," Manor said. "It's a thrill for everyone in the house." Except for the opposition, of course.

intermission.

By Bill Center Starr Writer

During the nine-minute stretch of the second half when the Toreros ex- panded a three-point lead (51-48) into a 20-point rout (79-59) Manor and Munn hit five straight three-pointers between them. "The idea is to take the three- pointer off the offense if you don't have to worry about taking it," Egan said. "We try not to make it a three- point play, and it's helped us." At USD, that's simple logic. u1 understand it," said Means, a wing guard who is shootir.g 49.3 per- cent from beyond the three-point line and only 33 percent from inside it. "With the horses we have inside, our three-pointers are high-percent- age shots. When other teams pack the middle, we're shooting from 20 feet with no hands in our faces. "If the other team doesn't stack it inside on Scott and Nils Madden, we'll score two points 75 percent of the time. If they choose to take our inside game away, we'll score three points about 50 percent of the time. "I think it figures out to be the same thing." Means also sees nothing unusual in his own personal percentages. "The farther I get from the giants, the more relaxed I am," said the 6-1 sophomore. But the most relaxed bomber in the Toreros' lineup is Manor. The senior wing forward has hit on 54.7 percent of his three-point shots this

Mark Manor. Danny Means. Marty Munn. Call them the Long Rangers. The three bombers last night con- nected on a season-high 11 three- point baskets for the Unjyersity_ of San Diego in the Toreros' 99-84 victo- ry over Loyola Marymount Universi- ty in a West Coast Athletic Confer- ence Tournament opener. But what has become an import- ant part of the USO attack this 24-4 season is no part o the Toreros' game plan at all. "We don't take three-pointers to be shooting three-pointers," said Manor, the WCAC's first three-point king. "It's strictly a shot of opportunity. If the defenses are packing the inside against Scott (Thompson) and we can take a three-pointer off our pattern offense, e can take it. "But if we started shooting three- pointers to be shooting three-pointers ... I don't think Coach (Hank) Egan would stand for it." Last night, however, the Lions played right into the Long Rangers' hot hands. For more than half the game they packed the middle so tightly that the 7-foot Thompson had little room to maneuver. So Manor, Means and Munn let fly from beyond the 193/4-foot mark. Manor was 6-for-7 from three-point range. Means was 3-for-6, all in the first half. And Munn was 2-for-4 after
