San Diego takes on challenging 15-game slate

SAN DIEGO – San Diego released its complete 15-game nonconference schedule, as announced Thursday by head coach Sam Scholl.
 
Season tickets for the 2018-19 season were also released and available for purchase. Season ticket holders receive special benefits and priority access to tickets to the Las Vegas Classic and the WCC Tournament.
 
The Toreros will take on a challenging nonconference slate that includes eight home games and seven matchups away from San Diego.
 
RESERVE YOUR SEATS
The season begins at home on Nov. 6 against Weber State. The Toreros will welcome Colorado to the JCP on Nov. 20. USD defeated the Buffaloes in Boulder a year ago, 69-59, led by a 20-point performance by Isaiah Wright.
 
The Toreros play host to a pair of Southern California foes in early December when they take on Long Beach State (Dec. 1) and CSUN (Dec. 9).
 
USD will play host to Northern Colorado on Dec. 15 in a rematch of last season's CIT quarterfinal game. Isaiah Pineiro dropped a double-double with 25 points and 10 rebounds but it was not enough to take down the Bears, which earned an 86-75 victory.
 
Nonconference play concludes Dec. 29 at home against Grand Canyon. The Lopes home court is considered one of the tougher places to play in the country but the Toreros handled their business in last year's matchup, earning a 72-62 victory in Phoenix. Yauhen Massalski and Isaiah Pineiro scored 17 points apiece in the win.
 
MAKE TRAVEL PLANS
The Toreros will be challenged away from home beginning with trips to UC Davis (Nov. 9) and Washington (Nov. 12).
