NONCONFERENCE

* USC at UC IRVINE

Time--2 p.m.

Radio--KUCI (88.9), KNWS (640 and 1260), KWNK (670).

Records--USC 3-1, UC Irvine 0-4

A potential breather for the Trojans, who are coming off two difficult games in the Harris Teeter Challenge in Charlotte, N.C. Irvine is without starting forward Brian Johnson (sprained toe) and may be without its leading scorer, forward Wendell Robinson (sprained foot). An Anteater loss would give the team the worst start in the program’s history. Trojan guard Stais Boseman scored 17 of his 21 points in the second half against UNC Charlotte to help the team rally from a 20-point deficit.
