* PEPPERDINE (18-6, 10-1) at GONZAGA (19-5, 11-0), Fox Sports Net 2, 3 p.m.--The West Coast Conference regular-season title will be determined in front of a boisterous crowd in Spokane, Wash. Pepperdine, the defending champion, missed a chance to seize the upper hand by losing at home to the Bulldogs on Feb. 2. The Waves bounced back to win four in a row and have won 12 of 13. Gonzaga is even hotter, winning a school-record 13 in a row.
