USD Men's Basketball 2004-2005

A Message From President Mary Lyons

The University of San Diego is very proud of the student-athletes that represent our institution on 16 men's and women's NCAADivision-I athletic teams. These are proud and serious competitors, honored to represent the University. The dedication you witness on the playing fields , on the court, on the course, or in the water is greatly matched in the classrooms, the laboratories, on stage, or in the community. Over forty percent of our student-athletes carry a grade-point average above 3.2, and 11 of our teams have a cumulative grade-point average above 3.0. Athletics is vital to the University of San Diego, a way students, faculty, staff and alumni come together as one community. I am both a university president and a Torero fan; I look forward to sharing the excitement of Torero athletics with our many fans.
