USF, the No. 1 team in the nation by a mile, boasts the best defensive record in the country for allowing only 51 points scored against it per game.

In the other game- UCLA downed Idaho 92 to 73. The University of Oregon, the ninth member of the PCC, was idle. In the opening games of the California Basketball associa tion, the USF-Pepperdine affair was naturally the big one.
