Hayes, McKinney lead San Diego past Pepperdine 57-52 in West Coast Conference Tournament

LAS VEGAS (AP) - PJ Hayes led San Diego with 15 points and Wayne McKinney III hit a 3-pointer with two seconds remaining for the lead as the Toreros defeated Pepperdine 57-52 on Friday night in the West Coast Conference Tournament.

McKinney added 10 points while going 2 of 11 from the floor, including 2 for 4 from 3-point range, and 4 for 6 from the line while he also had five rebounds. Kevin Patton Jr. finished 3 of 6 from the field to finish with nine points.

Malik Moore led the eighth-seeded Waves (13-20) in scoring, finishing with 16 points. Pepperdine also got 14 points, 15 rebounds and two steals from Michael Ajayi. Jevon Porter also recorded 12 points and four blocks.
