SAN DIEGO – For the second weekend in a row, San Diego will travel to face a ranked Pac-12 team in a true road game as the Toreros will take on #25 Washington on Sunday at 7:30 p.m.

The Toreros enter the weekend having lost back-to-back games, including a road game at #25 Colorado on November 16 as well as against crosstown rival San Diego State this past Wednesday at home. 

After a stretch of four games in nine days, Sunday's game represents the longest stretch between games (three days) for the Toreros since their first two contests of the season.

Sunday's game can be seen on the Pac-12 Networks and heard for free, with the Voice of the Toreros Jack Cronin on the call. Live stats are also available.

LAST TIME OUT: TOREROS GO COLD OFFENSIVELY, LOSE 66-49 TO SDSU
- In another close game at halftime, the Toreros went cold offensively in the second half and were outscored 40-12 in the paint to lose to rival San Diego State, 66-49, on Wednesday in the Jenny Craig Pavilion. Down eight at halftime but within four with five minutes remaining in the first half, the Toreros were unable to slow down SDSU in the second half as the Aztecs shot 48.3% from the field and led by as much as 24. USD, meanwhile, was 6-of-23 in the second half (26%). Only two Toreros reached double-digits in scoring - Noel Coleman, off the bench, and James Jean-Marie - as they finished the game 17-of-48 (35.4%) from the field. The 49 points by the Toreros were their fewest all season while the USD bench scored a combined 19 of the 49.

ALL-TIME SERIES AGAINST WASHINGTON
- Sunday will be the fourth all-time meeting between USD and Washington, with the Toreros trailing in the series, 1-2.

- The Huskies won last year's meeting, 66-63, in Seattle on November 12, 2018. The Toreros had a one-point lead with less than four minutes remaining in that game, but Washington went on a 7-3 run to edge USD. The Toreros had a shot at tying the game in the final second of regulation, but a three-point attempt by Tyler Williams did not fall.

- The Toreros won the first all-time meeting back on December 30, 2000 (72-54 in Seattle). In the second matchup, Washington took down the Toreros 98-94 in San Diego on December 1, 2001.

LOOKING AHEAD
- The Toreros head back home to face Hofstra on Wednesday, November 27 at 7 p.m. The game is the first of four games for USD in the Boca Raton Beach Classic and first of two hosted at USD.

SEATTLE CONNECTION
- Head coach Sam Scholl returns home this weekend as the native of Gig Harbor, Washington will lead the Toreros in the area where he grew up. 

- Scholl is not the only Seattle connection on the Toreros as Director of Operations Lance LaVetter is a former assistant coach at Seattle U and spent 12 years as the Director of Operations at Washington under Lorenzo Romar.

FRESHMAN IMPACT OVER THE LAST TWO
- Freshman Noel Coleman has scored a personal-best 10 points in each of the last two games off the bench. It is the first time a Torero true freshman scored in double-digits in back-to-back games since 2016-17.

- In addition to averaging 10.0 points in the last two games, Coleman is 8-of-12 (66.7%) from the field and 3-of-4 (75%) from three.

- Coleman is also averaging 20.0 minutes per game over the last two, including 22 in the last game against San Diego State. His season-high for minutes is 23 (at Weber State, Nov. 14).

TOP SHOOTER
- Helped by his 67% shooting in the last two games, Noel Coleman is USD's leading shooter as he is 13-of-25 from the field (52%).

- From beyond the arc, Coleman, a native of Belgium, is 6-of-11 (54.5%) - also a team-best.

DOUBLE DOUBLE
- For the second time in the last four games, James Jean-Marie turned in a double-double on Nov. 20 against SDSU. The junior forward had 10 points and 10 rebounds against the Aztecs.

- The pair of double-doubles are the only by a Torero so far this season and tied for the most in the WCC.

- The native of Montreal, Canada is averaging 8.8 points and 8.7 rebounds this season. Since joining the starting lineup in game two of the season against Long Beach State, Jean-Marie is averaging 10.0 rebounds and 8.8 points.

- Last year at Navarro College (TX), Jean-Marie averaged 12.7 points and 7.3 rebounds.

ON THE BOARDS
- James Jean-Marie is a threat offensively, but most importantly to the Toreros, he is the leading rebounder. His 8.7 rebounds per game is the best clip in the WCC.

- Jean-Marie is also tops in the conference with 6.83 defensive rebounds per game, an average that is 58th in the country.

STEALING THE SHOW
- USD added four steals against San Diego State to its season total, giving it 42 this season - the second-most among WCC teams (60th in the country).

- The Toreros have eight or more steals in four of their six games, including in three of the last four. They had a season-high 10 at Weber State followed by nine at #25 Colorado.

- Redshirt freshman Marion Humphrey leads the team and is second in the WCC with 11 steals while Joey Calcaterra is second and fourth with nine. Humphrey is third in the conference with 1.83 steals per game.

- Of the 10 Toreros to suit up this season, nine have at least one while eight have multiple.

VS. RANKED
- The Toreros are looking for their first win over a ranked opponent since 2014 when they topped #22 Gonzaga, 69-66, in San Diego (Feb. 22, 2014).

FIRST VS. SECOND

TOUGH COMPETITION TO START
