USC TONIGHT

vs. UC Riverside, 7:30

Site -- Sports Arena.

Radio -- KMPC (1540).

Records (2001-02) -- USC 22-10, UC Riverside 8-18.

Update -- In its second season of Division I competition, Riverside is not eligible for postseason play and is redshirting its best player, junior forward Vili Morton, and possibly two others in hopes of making a tournament run next season. This will be the first meeting between the Trojans and Highlanders, who gave UCLA a scare last December, playing to a 28-28 halftime tie before falling, 65-50. Suspended USC forward Jerry Dupree and Riverside guard Mark Peters, both juniors, were teammates at Moreno Valley Valley View High.

Tickets -- (213) 740-4672.
