San Diego men’s basketball was Mike Burns’ ticket to the NCAA Division I coaching scene. He poured his life into it over seven seasons, heading a recruiting effort that hauled in Johnny Dee, the program’s all-time leading scorer, before joining the Pacific staff in June.
Now, the Tigers interim coach Burns’ former team is coming to Stockton.
Pacific hosts San Diego in a West Coast Conference game at 6 p.m. today at Spanos Center. The Tigers have split their two WCC games against Santa Clara (overtime home win via Alec Kobre’s buzzer-beating 3-pointer) and USF (high-scoring road loss).
