Pepperdine Waves

Pepperdine University's men's basketball team, with a 5-10 overall record and 0-2 in the West Coast Conference, heads out for its first road conference games of the season. The Waves will face undefeated Santa Clara on Friday before taking on Pacific on Saturday. Coming off a heavy loss to Saint Mary's, Pepperdine aims to leverage its strong free-throw shooting and key players' performances.
