This year the Waves have not been as good as what would be expected for the way the Pepperdine team has been hyped up. The Waves have a 2-3 record in the WCC this season. When it comes to the overall record the Pepperdine team has ended up getting a 9-10 record. The last game for the Pepperdine team was a loss to Saint Mary’s by a 78-69 loss. 

Colbey Ross has led the Waves in the scoring this year with 20.2 points a game. Kessler Edwards has ended up with a total of 7.8 boards a game. The scoring on the year for the Waves has ended up getting 76.2 points a game scored on the year. The defense for the Waves has allowed only 76.7 points a game.

Santa Clara is heading into the game here with a16-4 record overall, which has been very impressive. The Broncos when it comes to playing in the WCC this year have ended up with a 3-2 record overall. The last game on the court for the Broncos ended up getting an 84-80 win over Pacific.

    The Broncos are playing quite a bit better than Pepperdine in the game here. The Waves have struggled defensively in the game and that will definitely be an issue in the game here as the Broncos have a good offense in the game here. Look for Santa Clara to be able to play great in the game here and take advantage of a fairly weak Waves defense in the game here. Final Score Prediction, Santa Clara Broncos win and cover ATS 75-67.
