Basketball in San Diego

Although there have been a few attempts to bring pro and semi-pro basketball to San Diego, no team has endured. Diehard basketball fans instead rely on college teams to give them a fix. The San Diego State University Aztecs (Cox Arena, College Ave. Exit off I-8, San Diego State University, 92115. 619/283-7378. www.goaztecs.com) compete from November through March in the Western Athletic Conference with such powers as the University of Utah and Brigham Young University. The University of San Diego Toreros (Jenny Craig Pavilion, 5998 Alcalá Park, Linda Vista, 92110. 619/260-4803. www.usdtoreros.com) take on West Coast Conference opponents Pepperdine University, the University of San Francisco, and the University of California at Santa Barbara, among others.
