Injuries Mounting for Pepperdine: Pepperdine sophomore center Russell Hicks will miss as much as six weeks because of a broken left foot. Hicks injured the foot during practice, becoming the third Pepperdine player who will miss time this season. Junior guard Marvin Lea will miss a month with a stress fracture in his left foot, and freshman guard Michael Nash will miss the whole season because of a major knee injury. Oh yeah, and Pepperdine starts the season against Connecticut. Talk about adding insult to injury.
