Pepperdine University’s men’s basketball team is gearing up to start conference play against Oregon State and Pacific this week. The Waves will face off against the Oregon State Beavers on Thursday before taking on the Pacific Tigers on Saturday.
Coming off a strong non-conference performance, the Waves are looking to carry that momentum into their conference matchups. Pepperdine currently holds a 9-4 record, with key wins over teams like Cal State Fullerton and UC Riverside.
Head coach Lorenzo Romar is excited for his team to begin competing in the West Coast Conference, known for its intense competition. Romar has been impressed by the resilience and determination of his players thus far and believes they have what it takes to make a strong showing in conference play.
Senior guard Colbey Ross has been a standout player for the Waves this season, averaging a team-high 18.6 points per game. Ross, a preseason All-WCC selection, has been a leader on and off the court for Pepperdine.
The Waves will have their work cut out for them against Oregon State and Pacific, two tough conference opponents. Oregon State boasts a 6-5 record and is coming off a convincing win over rival Oregon. Pacific, on the other hand, has been struggling this season with a 4-6 record.
Pepperdine fans are eager to see how the Waves will fare in their first conference games and are hopeful for a successful start to their WCC campaign. The team is determined to make a strong statement in the conference and build on their early-season success. Stay tuned to see how Pepperdine performs as conference play heats up.
