THE 1989-90 USO SEASON-A LOOK BACK After beginning the 1989-90 season 3-7 and finishing their preconference schedule at 5-7 through the month of December, the Toreros turned the tables in the new year as they finished 9-5 in WCC action for third place. Going into the last weekend of WCC play, the Toreros found themselves just two games behind first place LMU and still with an outside shot at the title. Included in their 9-5 wee mark was a 7-game winning streak, a 4-3 wee road record and a sweep of the tough northwest trip over Gonzaga and Portland. San Diego finished with a record of 16-12 and ended the season with an 80-74 win over San Francisco in the first round of the 4th Annual WCC Tournament. Contributing to their slow start were losses to such opponents as UC Santa Barbara, St. John's, South Alabama, UCLA and Nevada-Reno. Possibly their toughest nonconference schedule ever, their 12-game slate through November and December paid dividends for preparing the Toreros for the tough West Coast Conference action. Although they lost twice to #1 LMU and #2 Pepperdine, the Toreros only other WCC loss was a road defeat at the hands of San Francisco. USD's 9-5 third-place finish was the team's best showing since their 13-1 first-place finish in 1986-87. Two major reasons for USD's resurgence last season was the play of newcomers John Jerome and Pat Holbert. Jerome, the 6-8 forward who transferred from Arizona State for his senior year with the Toreros, was the team's most consistent player. He paced the Toreros in scoring and rebound ing with averages of 19.3 ppg and 8.0 rpg. John scored in double figures in 27 of the team's 28 games and set new USD single-season records for most points (540) and scoring average (19.3 ppg). John was a First Team AII-WCC selection and the team's MVP. Junior Pat Holbert really came to life in the second part of the season. The 6-3 transfer from Mesa Community College was inserted into the Toreros' starting lineup in game #16 and USD went on to win 10 of their final 13 games. Pat led the team in scoring in six of those games, including three 27-point outbursts in the team's final four games. He was the team's top 3-point threat as he finished with 54 treys for 46.2 percent from beyond the 19'9" arc. Pat was named Honorable Men– tion AII-WCC. In the 14 WCC contests, Jerome averaged 19.9 ppg followed by Holbert's 17.0 average. Another key was the team settling on a starting lineup. Besides Jerome and Holbert, coach Hank Egan went with senior Craig Cottrell at forward, junior Dondi Bell at center and sophomore Wayman Strickland at point guard. Strickland finished with team highs in assists (169) and steals (60). Team depth also played a key role for the Toreros. Giving the team quality minutes off the bench included juniors Randy Thompson and Anthony Thomas, as well as sophomores Kelvin Woods and Gylan Dottin.
