* PEPPERDINE (9-5) at NORTHWESTERN (4-8), 11 a.m. PST--This is Pepperdine’s last tuneup before West Coast Conference play. Northwestern will counter Pepperdine’s up-tempo style by trying to slow the pace. The Wildcats, who have lost three in a row, have seven freshmen and four sophomores on their roster. Freshman guard Ben Johnson averages 11.7 points and either Johnson or sophomore guard Steve Lepore has led the team in scoring in 10 of 12 games. Tavaras Hardy, a 6-8 sophomore forward, is Northwestern’s leading rebounder. Pepperdine is coming off an 83-38 victory over Lehigh that ended a three-game losing streak.
