* PEPPERDINE (7-2) at USC (4-2), Sports Arena, 7--USC is looking for its fifth consecutive victory. Pepperdine has won five in a row since being bombed at home by top-ranked Connecticut, 98-63, on Nov. 21. Pepperdine’s most productive player is forward Nadja Morgan, who averages 13.1 points on 61.3% shooting and 8.1 rebounds. Coach Chris Gobrecht’s Trojans have knocked off UC Santa Barbara, St. Joseph’s, San Diego and Sacramento State since losing at Creighton and Drake to start the season. Tonight should mark the long-awaited debut of one of USC’s prized freshmen, Aisha Hollans. She was sidelined the first month of the season because of a back injury, but has started practicing.
