STARTING FIVE
-> Washington State will honor seniors Borislava Hristova and Chanelle Molina prior to the start of Sunday's contest. Each player will leave large legacies on the Palouse, as Hristova is the program's all-time leading scorer and Molina is the first player in program history to collect 1,000 points, 400 rebounds and 400 assists. The duo has scored 3,536 points in their career, which is a program record for most points scored by a pair of seniors.

-> WSU comes into Sunday's home finale looking to snap a four-game losing streak, which has dropped their overall record to 11-16. Washington State is in a three-way tie for ninth place in the Pac-12 standings with Colorado and Washington coming into Sunday's contest, as all three stand at 4-11 in conference play.

-> Sunday's game against USC ends a three-game stretch against ranked opponents for Washington State. The Cougars have played the most games against ranked foes in the nation this year with 12 games against teams inside the Associated Press and USA Today/WBCA Polls. WSU is 11-4 against teams outside of the top-25 this season.

-> USC leads the all-time series against Washington State, 52-18. The Trojans have won five-straight in the series, which includes a 74-65 win over the Cougs in the Galen Center back on Jan. 24. The last WSU win over Southern Cal came back on Jan. 8, 2017 with a 74-57 victory in Pullman.

-> Redshirt senior Borislava Hristova is just three points away from passing Stanford's Kate Starbird for 13th on the Pac-12 women's basketball all-time scoring list. Hristova, who became WSU's all-time leading scorer earlier this season, currently has 2,213 points.

LAST TIME OUT
Washington State led No. 8/7-ranked UCLA for almost 34 minutes of game time on Friday, Feb. 21, but the Bruins would go on a 13-3 run over the final 3:36 to mount a 70-62 come-from-behind win over the Cougars at Beasley Coliseum.

WSU got a team-high 29 points from redshirt senior Borislava Hristova, while senior Chanelle Molina nearly had a double-double with 15 points and nine rebounds.

WINNING AT HOME
The Cougars come into Sunday's matchup looking to secure a winning record at home this season. Washington State is currently 7-7 coming into its final home game of the season. If WSU is able to secure the victory on Sunday, it will give the Cougs their first winning record at home since the 2016-17 season.

MOLINA MOVING UP ON WSU SCORING LIST
Senior Chanelle Molina is 11 points away from passing Camille Thompson (1990-94) for ninth on the Washington State all-time scoring list. Molina enters Sunday's game with 1,323 career points.

BOBI RACKING UP THE BUCKETS
Redshirt senior Borislava Hristova is currently first in the Pac-12 in total points this season with 514 points. Hristova also leads the conference in field goal attempts at 442, which is also the eighth-most in NCAA Division I.

500-POINT CLUB
Redshirt senior Borislava Hristova recently became the third player in program history to score 500-plus points in two-or-more seasons. Bobi Buckets has scored 514 points so far this season, which is the eighth-most points scored in a single season in WSU history.

She joins Lia Galdeira and Tia Presley as the only players in Cougar women's basketball history to score 500-or-more points in two-or-more seasons. Last season, Hristova scored 597 points, which is the six-most points scored in a single season at Washington State.

BELLA BOARDS
Freshman Bella Murekatete opened her weekend by pulling down 10 rebounds against No. 8/7 UCLA. It marks the second time this season that the freshman post has pulled down double-digit boards, as she previously grabbed a career-high 13 caroms against UC Irvine back on Dec. 15.

SCOUTING SOUTHERN CAL
The Trojans come to Pullman off the heels of a 75-66 loss at Washington on Friday. Southern Cal stands one game above the Cougars in the Pac-12 standings at 5-10, while the Trojans stand at an even 13-13 overall on the year.

Freshman Alissa Pili leads the Trojans in scoring at 15.0 points per game and rebounds per game at 7.8 caroms per contest. Pili has been named the Pac-12 Freshman of the Week in three of the last five weeks, and she is averaging 17.9 points per game in league play. As a team, USC is averaging 64.4 points per game on a 39.9% field goal percentage.

Defensively, teams are scoring 64.7 points per game against Southern California. Opponents are shooting 37.7% from the field against the Trojans. USC has been stingy behind the arc this season, as teams are shooting just 29.6% against them from distance.
