USD RIDES DEE'S HOT HAND TO TOP WAVES
The kid with the doo-wop name and the Hoosiers haircut helped keep USD’s season alive.Johnny Dee was more than a handful for Pepperdine in the second round of the West Coast Conference Tournament on Thursday night as the 6-foot freshman guard from Vista scored a career-high 30 points and led the sixth-seeded Toreros to a 76-54 win over the No. 7 Waves at Orleans Arena.
USD (13-17) will face third-seeded Brigham Young at 8:15 p.m. today in the quarterfinals. The Cougars swept the Toreros in their first season in the WCC, winning the two meetings by an average of 26 points.
The Toreros took control four minutes into the game as Dee hit a three-pointer from the left corner. That ignited a 23-2 run over an 8:03 span as USD built a comfortable 27-10 lead. Dee was hitting from everywhere as he drained 4 of 5 from long distance in the first half.
Another report revealed Dwight wants his bosses to acquire Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash, who also will be an unrestricted FA and — despite the youth-reminding properties of a new haircut — happens to be 38 years old.
