SAN FRANCISCO DONS BASKETBALL - PAGE 2

HEAD COACH REX WALTERS A new era began April 7, 2008 when the University of San Francisco named Rex Walters head coach of the men’s basketball program. The former Kansas star and NBA veteran hit the ground running and entering his second season on the Hilltop, all but one player on the 2009-10 roster was brought to USF by Walters and his coaching staff.

San Francisco has added talented size and versatile perimeter players who look prepared to follow Walters’ mantra: Play hard. Play smart. Play together.

Coach Walters came to USF from Florida Atlantic University. In his first season at the helm, Walters guided Florida Atlantic to its second consecutive winning season the first time the Owls had done so since posting three straight from 1990-92.

In 2006-07, the Owls won 10 Sun Belt Conference games, the third-most for a first-year Sun Belt member. The team also set a program scoring record, averaging 74.9 points per game.

Prior to Florida Atlantic, Walters’ first collegiate coaching job came at Valparaiso, a two-year stint as an assistant under Homer Drew. The 2003-04 Hornets were 18-13 overall and advanced to the NCAA Tournament after capturing the Mid-Continent Conference with a record of 11-5.

Walters’ coaching pedigree began as a player, receiving tutelage from some of the game’s legendary coaches. Roy Williams at the University of Kansas and the NBA’s Chuck Daly, Larry Brown and Pat Riley all mentored Walters as a player.

Walters starred for two seasons at Kansas and in 68 starts under Williams, averaged 15.6 points per game, leading the Jayhawks in scoring during both his junior and senior campaigns. KU combined to go 56-12 overall, won back-to-back Big Eight titles, capped by a trip to the 1993 Final Four. A two-time All-Big Eight team pick, Walters was the 1993 Big Eight Male Athlete of the Year.

After graduating from Kansas in 1993 with a B.S. in education, Walters was selected by New Jersey as the 16th overall pick in the 1993 NBA Draft. He went on to play seven seasons in total with the Nets, Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat, averaging 4.6 points and 1.7 assists per game.

Walters and his wife, Deanna, have five children: Addison (13), Drew (11), Riley (8), Gunner (6), and welcomed Ace Jordan in July of 2008.

The Dons look to extend their current five-game home winning streak against non-conference foes.

A LOOK AT THE DONS DIOR LOWHORN - 2009-10 MID-MAJOR ALLAMERICAN: Senior forward Dior Lowhorn was named to the 2009-10 Mid-Major Preseason AllAmerica Team as announced by CollegeInsider. com. Lowhorn followed up a sensational sophomore season with a strong second season in the Green and Gold in 2008-09. Lowhorn led the West Coast Conference in scoring for the second consecutive season and captured the league scoring title in overall (20.1) and league games (19.1) for the second consecutive year.

Lowhorn is the first player to lead the league in scoring in back-to-back seasons since Gonzaga’s Jeff Brown did so from 1993-94. For his efforts, Lowhorn captured All-WCC First Team honors for the second time. The Texas Tech transfer and Bay Area native turned in a prolific sophomore campaign, leading the league in overall (20.5) and WCC (20.5) scoring - the first USF player to pace the league in scoring in both categories since John Cox accomplished the feat in 2004-05 (20.0/19.9).

Lowhorn’s sophomore tally of 636 points was good for fourth place on the Dons single-season scoring charts and his 604 as a junior ranked 10th. A 2008 Mid-Major All-American Lowhorn has posted at least 20 points in 37 career games, including a career-high 32 against Pepperdine (3/6/09).

Lowhorn owns 10 career double-doubles.

LOWDOWN ON LOWHORN  Two-Time All-WCC First Team (2008-09)  2009-10 Preseason MidMajor All-American and All-WCC  Ranked fourth on the USF single-season scoring chart (636) as a sophomore, 10th as a junior (604)  No. 17 in USF career scoring (1,262/20.4)  Led the WCC in scoring as a sophomore & junior (20.5/20.1)  First player since Gonzaga’s Jeff Brown (1993-94) to lead WCC in scoring in consecutive league campaigns  Has reached double-digit scoring in 61 of 62 games in his USF career, including 37 with 20 or more points  Ranked fifth in WCC in rebounds (6.9), third in 3-point field goal percentage (.432) and eighth in field goal percentage (.483)

DIOR LOWHORN AMONG NATIONAL SCORING LEADERS: In his first two seasons on the Hilltop, senior forward Dior Lowhorn has cracked the top-30 Division I scoring list. The San Franciscan ranked No. 27 among final 2007-08 NCAA Division I scoring leaders at 20.5 points per game, becoming the first Don to crack the top-30 since John Cox (1999-05) did so as a senior. Lowhorn (20.1) ended his junior campaign ranked No. 23 among Division I leaders.

LOWHORN CLOSING IN ON 1,500 COMBINED CAREER POINTS: With a 23-point night at USC (12/1/08) senior forward Dior Lowhorn surpassed 1,000 combined career points and enters Monday’s game against Dominican with 1,492 points with 1,262 coming at USF and 230 at Texas Tech.

LOWHORN CRACKS SINGLE-SEASON SCORING LIST... AGAIN: With a careerhigh 32-point outburst against Pepperdine (3/6/09) in the first round of the 2009 West Coast Conference Tournament senior forward Dior Lowhorn completed his junior year with 604 points, good for 10th place on the USF single-season scoring list. Lowhorn ranked fourth in single-season history with 636 points (31 games) as a sophomore and became just the third player in school history to score 600 or more points twice in a career. USF All-Americans Quintin Dailey (755, 1982; 693, 1981) and Bill Cartwright (710, 1979; 600, 1977) were the first to accomplish the feat.

BLAKE WALLACE ON THE RISE: Senior forward Blake Wallace made an impact for USF during his first season on the Hilltop in 2008-09. The Irvine Valley JC transfer ranked fourth on the team in scoring (8.5), second in rebounds (4.1) and is second with 35 3-pointers. Wallace, who started his career at Pepperdine in 2006-07, scored a career-high 21 points at Hawaii (11/14/08) in the Verizon Wireless Tip-off Classic.

Wallace turned in his first USF double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds in a double overtime win against Long Beach State (12/6/08). Wallace scored 19 points with five 3-pointers against the No. 19 Zags (2/14/09).

DONTAE BRYANT DRIVES AND DISHES: Senior guard Dontae Bryant did a solid job quarterbacking the USF offense in 2008-09 - his first season in the Green and Gold.

Bryant averaged 4.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and led the team and ranked sixth in the West Coast Conference with 3.1 assists. The Oregonian dished out at least four assists in 13 games last season with a career-high eight against Pepperdine (3/6/09).

DONS POST WINNING HOME RECORD: After posting a satisfying 67-66 overtime victory against ancient Bay Area and WCC rival Santa Clara in the 2009 Homecoming Game, USF closed out the 2008-09 home schedule with a 7-5 record. It was the best mark at War Memorial Gym for the Dons since posting the same mark in 2006-07.

“After they beat us last year we wanted to come in with intensity and with something to prove and we wanted to win regardless of what happened,” senior guard Dontae Bryant said. “And coach told us that our defense would fuel the offense.”

The Dons held the Mustangs to 15.4 shooting from the field in the first 10 minutes of the game and were shooting 61.5 percent themselves by the break.

“They hit every shot and we gave them too much space by over helping on penetration,” Cal Poly head coach Joe Callero said.

“They also did a nice job with the shot clock going down.”

USF led 44-28 at halftime and maintained a 20-point lead for the majority of the second half. The closest the Mustangs got in the second half was 11, the final margin of victory for the Dons, after finishing the game on an 8-1 run. The Dons cooled off offensively in the second half, shooting just 33.3 percent from the field and turning the ball over nine times.

QUOTING WALTERS: “We have to learn how to play two halves,” USF head coach Rex Walters said. “We have to grow and learn that the [other team isn’t] going to stop coming at you.”

UP NEXT FOR THE DONS: After taking on Dominican to close a two-game homestand, USF takes to the road for a pair of games beginning Friday, November 20 against Arizona State in Tempe, AZ. Game time against the Sun Devils is set for 3:30 PM (PT).

The Dons continue the road trip Monday with a 7:00 PM contest against UC Santa Barbara at the Thunderdome.

CAL POLY LEFTOVERS:  USF opened the game on a 14-0 burst and Cal Poly didn’t score its 10th point until the 13th minute  Three Dons tallied double-digit scoring nights: Dior Lowhorn (22), while Angelo Caloiaro and Kwame Vaughn each added 15.  11 players saw time for the Dons and eight logged at least 10 minutes  San Francisco shot .778 (21-27) from the charity stripe with Dior Lowhorn connecting on a remarkable .889 (8-9)

The Oakland native was the second-leading scorer on the team in 2008-09 at 10.8 points per game, leading all USF newcomers. Vaughn scored 17 points against Texas State (11/16/08) and added 11 points in back-to-back wins versus UC Santa Barbara (11/24/08) and Colorado State (11/29/08). Vaughn turned in a strong performance in a win at Boise State (12/13/08) with 18 points. The East Bay product scored a career-high 22 points - 19 in the second half - at San Jose State (12/22/08).

SMITH TO WEAR FATHER’S RETIRED NUMBER: Sophomore guard Peter Smith will pay tribute to his father, former USF All-American and NBA standout Phil Smith, by wearing No. 20 for the 2009-10 season. It marks the first time in school history, a player will be wearing a number officially retired by the program. A USF Legend of the Hilltop and Hall-of-Famer, Phil Smith scored 1,523 career points at USF (18.1 ppg) and as a rookie helped the Golden State Warriors to their only NBA Championship in 1975. Phil Smith passed away in 2002 after a courageous battle with cancer.

REMEMBERING WALLY: Longtime USF head athletic trainer Wally Hayes passed away last week. The USF Hall-of-Famer spent more than two decades selflessly serving the needs of Dons student-athletes. A San Francisco memorial service is pending.
