USD Prepares For Selection Show

SAN DIEGO (USD) - The University of San Diego men's basketball team will learn on Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. who and where they will be playing in the upcoming 2008 NCAA Tournament.

The NCAA Basketball Championship Selection Show will air live on CBS beginning a 3 pm. The Torero basketball team will gather on campus with family, friends and invited guests. USD enters the NCAA Tournament after earning the automatic bid from the West Coast Conference as the No. 3 seeded Toreros downed top-seeded Gonzaga University in the championship game of the WCC tournament, 69-62, on March 10th. This marks the Toreros' fourth trip to the "Big Dance" in program history and first time since 2003.

This season's team is 21-13 overall and finished 11-3 in the West Coast Conference. First year head coach Bill Grier directed the Toreros to two wins over Top 25 ranked teams (Saint Mary's and Gonzaga) as well Kentucky at historic Rupp Arena in late December. The Toreros will enter the NCAA Tournament having won 13 of 15 games.
