against Loyola Marymount. Pepperdine also has counted heav- ily on junior Dexter Howard (17.4 points 7.8 rebounds), 6-foot-11 senior Casey' Crawford (8.1, 7.7) and junior guard Craig Davis (12.4, 3.1). Pepperdine split its gam~ with the Lions winning last Friday at home 104-79 before losing Sunday at Loyola 99-86. The Waves remained calm at home, but they fell into the Lions' trap in the second game. "As long as Pepperdine was ahead, they didn't panic," said Egan. "When Loyola gets you playing their tempo, that's when you have problems. 'That's my concern. I don't want our kids not to play. I don't want them slowing it down to the point where they can't get anything done. Because they're going to get some easy baskets. I want them to play basketball intelligently and not get pushed into something they're not comfortable with."

USO e~d a seven-game losing streak by beating USF 69-64 last weekend. Does that mean the Toreros' troubles are over? Not by a long shot. "This is a struggle that is not going to end with one win," said USO coach Hank Egan. "This is a struggle that is going to continue." Is it ever. Pepperdine (5-1, 13-8), Loyola Mar- ymount (5-1, 12-7) and St. Mary's (5-1, 17-2) are tied for first place in the West Coast Athletic Conference. USD's next six WCAC games are against those three teams, beginning with tonight's contest at Pepperdine. The Toreros play at Loyola Marym- ount tomorrow night. The Waves have been winning for new coach Tom Asbury with what Egan calls power basketball. Asbury had been an assistant at Pepperdine for nine years before assuming the top post when Jim Harrick left for UCLA after last season. "Jim Harrick was from the John Wooden school, which is pretty much efficient basketball," said Egan. "What they've gone to is much more power basketball. They're a much more physical team." The most powerful force for the Waves is junior forward Tom Lewis, who was named WCAC P ayer of the Week after collecting 5 ints and
