All the ingredients seemed to be in place for a USF run to the top of the WCC standings. In pre-conference play, Don cagers relied on their team quickness, full-court defense, and unselfish offensive play that has resulted in five Dons averaging double digit scoring numbers. Tim Owens led the team with 15.9 points a game, Darryl Johnson was right behind him with 14.4. Orlando Smart (12.4), KevinWeeks (11.6), and Travis Bice (10.3) fill out USF's scoring balance.
Brovelli started Alvin Brown and Wilson Stephens, instead of Tim Owens and Kevin Weeks to jump start the team's lethargic play. Behind Darryl Johnson's 24 points and 15 rebounds, USF defeated SE Louisiana 85-78. Orlando Smart tallied 17 points, six assists, and four steals, and Travis Bice had 12 points. Solution in hand, the Dons returned to the Bay Area to face a California team that featured one of the best freshman classes in the nation.
Darryl Johnson scored 26 points against St. Peter's to earn Metlife MVP (TheFoghorn).
