SAN DIEGO – San Diego's 16-game West Coast Conference schedule was announced Wednesday by the conference.

The Toreros open WCC play Jan. 3 at Santa Clara and make their home debut on Jan. 5 against Pacific.

USD plays host to Pepperdine on Jan. 12 before playing its first of three back-to-back road matchups at Portland (Jan. 17) and Saint Mary's (Jan. 19).

The Toreros head to defending conference champion, Gonzaga, on Feb. 2. USD gave the Bulldogs all they could handle during last year's meeting in Spokane, making it a two-point game twice in the final five minutes but could not close the gap down the stretch, allowing Gonzaga to escape with a 69-59 decision.

The game at Gonzaga is the start of the longest road stretch in conference play for the Toreros, which remains away from home at Loyola Marymount (Feb. 7) and Pepperdine (Feb. 9).

USD returns for its longest homestand of the WCC season – a four-game stretch – the following week with matchups against BYU (Feb. 14) and Gonzaga (Feb. 16). Four players scored in double-digits during last year's meeting at home against the Cougars, as the Toreros earned a dominating victory, 75-62.

The homestand concludes the following week against Portland (Feb. 21) and Saint Mary's (Feb. 23). USD will celebrate its seniors as part of Senior Day prior to the game against the Gaels.

The WCC regular season concludes away from home with games at San Francisco (Feb. 28) and at BYU (March 2).

San Diego returns four-of-five starters and 11 letterwinners from its 2017-18 team that produced the program's best season in the past 10 years.

The Toreros went 20-14 and advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2018 Collegeinsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT).  It marked the fourth time in program history the Toreros finished with 20 or more wins since moving to the NCAA Division I ranks for the 1979-80 season.
