Gonzaga vs. Pepperdine: Game preview
The Gonzaga Bulldogs kick off West Coast Conference play against the up and coming Pepperdine Waves on Saturday afternoon.
Gonzaga is coming off a solid win against a NAIA team, solid in the sense that the defense was locked in and the offense showcased some needed bright spots. Pepperdine is coming off a loss to the Iona Gaels on Christmas.
Meet the opponent
Pepperdine Waves, 7-7, KenPom #142
After an utterly disastrous season as one of the worst and youngest teams in the WCC last year, the Waves are looking much improved as they enter the fifth season of the Lorenzo Romar era, and with their top four scorers either freshmen or sophomores, the future looks bright in Malibu.
