Little went right for the University of San Diego’s men’s basketball team last season. Coming off of a highly productive 20-15 season the year before, last year’s Toreros were hungry for even greater success. But any postseason aspirations were dashed by a mere 9-23 overall record with only two of those nine wins against conference opponents. The first round defeat at the hands of the 11-20 Loyola Marymount University in the West Coast Conference Basketball Tournament was the final nail in the proverbial coffin of the 2019-2020 Torero men’s basketball season.
For a team with such momentum and potential to yield such disappointing results left many wondering what went wrong.
