Oddly enough, Pepperdine's Lamond Murray Jr. picked up the honor, having scored 30 points against BYU on Thursday and 17 against San Diego on Saturday. The senior was 10 of 20 against BYU but just 6 of 15 against USD.

Childs said he prayed before the game not to get a lot of rebounds or points, but to "not get fouls."

It worked. He didn't pick up a single foul while playing a career-high 39 minutes.Take away his 10 of 16 shooting, and the Cougars were just 14 of 36 from the field.

Defensively, the Cougars played much better than they did Thursday night, but got some help from the Dons.
