Both Pepperdine basketball programs launched their 2019–2020 seasons Oct. 11 in Firestone Fieldhouse with a display of bright lights and thrilling theatrics.
Though still about a month away from their true home openers, the introduction of the teams excited a large crowd of parents and students at the annual Blue and Orange Madness spirit rally.
“We have a fun style of basketball that we play, and I think the fans will love it,” junior point guard Colbey Ross said.
