By Kirk Kenney/i~ Trioone f}Ortswriter JI ' last night was a character builder. It was a chance to grow. It was a step in the right direction. It was a learning experience. It was all of those things. Euphemisms aside, it was also a heartbreaking, last-second 68-66 loss to Cal State Fullerton at the USO Sports Center. "Every game we take another step forward," said USD sophomore center Dondi Bell, whose 15 points were equaled by freshman teammate Gylan Dottin. "Even though we may lose, it's A still a learning experience. I think with every game we imP.rove more and more. ' For instance, we've had a problem throwing the ball inside and with execution. But I thought today we did a lot better job with execution. I think this was the game where we all came together and tried the hardest."

Leonard picked up two fouls in the first minute. He was immediately replaced by Means. In addition to scoring 14 points for USD, Means tried to be a calming influence for the young Toreros. "I just felt we got a little excited when they made a run at us;" Means said. "I was trying to keep everything settled because even though they were making a run I thought we were in control. "But it got out of hand. There was a stretch where wo didn't score any points." So what did the Toreros really learn from all this? • · ' "We can't relax at any time," said Means.

"I thought we really competed, we had some good spells," said USD coach Hank Egan. "I can't really tell why_ we plared well during that one stretch 10 the first half, and why we had that bad spell.

He was wounded from behind by a shotgun blast and suffered most of the damage in his left, or shootmg arm. . Fullerton coach John Sneed said the Ti- tans' plans for the last shot called for it to be taken by Ceballos. But when USO kept the ball away from Ceballos, Jones t~k tbe opportunity to go one-on-one against Woods. "We did want to get it under 10 seconds, and I was pleased we were able to do that," said Sneed, a former San Diego State assistant under Tim Vezie.

Continued from E-1 )- '1, '_J) "We took away Ceballos and we took away their other shooter (Hill)," Egan said. ''The kid who hit it, Jones, hadn't hit that much before the last one." Jones was 5-for-9, and the Titans shot 51.9 percent (28-for-54) as a team. Bell, a 6-9 sophomore, made six of eight field-goal attempts, and USO shot 45 percent (27-for-60) over- all. The Toreros were only ll-for-29 in the second bali, however. USD trailed by as much as 15-4 before recovering to ::law to a 35-29 halftime lead. The Toreros' comeback began when Dottin got a slam-dunk off a

breakaway and continued when Bell established his presence inside. Bell had four points in a 9-0 run that helped USO draw even from a 21-12 deficit. Danny Means contribut- ed a three-point basket in the run, and Keith Colvin, who replaced Bell briefly at center, got the tying points on a layup with 5:52 left in the half. The lead changed hands twice to 29-27, Fullerton, befor USD scored the halfs last eight points. Dottin, Craig Cottrell, Danny Means and Bell each contributed a ba ket in the final 3:12. Dottin had nine of his points in the first half, Bell and Danny Means eight each. The Toreros expanded their lead

on baskets by Bell, Cottrell, Danny Means and Dottin in the first 2:41 of the second half, and tbe lead stayed at 10 or more until Fullerton em- barked on its 14-0 run. "It was all about defense," Sneed said. "This time of year the defenses are ahead of the offenses, and the team that was th!! sharpest on de- fense was going to win." Fullerton seems to be making a habit of coming back from second- half deficits. The Titans overcame a 13-point disadvantage to defeat Utah in their opener, and nearly gained the lead after falling behind Pepper- dine by 15 Tuesday. USD's next game is Dec. 17 against visiting Seattle Pacific.
