What to Know

The Pepperdine Waves haven't won a matchup against the San Diego Toreros since Feb. 27 of 2021, but they'll be looking to end the drought Thursday. The Waves and San Diego will face off in a West Coast battle at 10 p.m. ET at Firestone Fieldhouse. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

Pepperdine received a tough blow on Saturday as they fell 91-76 to the Portland Pilots. Forward Maxwell Lewis put forth a good effort for the losing side as he had 18 points and six assists along with seven boards.

Meanwhile, San Diego was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap last week as they fell 88-83 to Portland. Guard Jase Townsend wasn't much of a difference maker for San Diego; Townsend played for 35 minutes but put up just eight points on 2-for-10 shooting.

The Waves are the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. The teams have had problems against the spread this season as they are both 6-13.

Pepperdine is now 7-14 while the Toreros sit at 9-12. Pepperdine is 4-9 after losses this year, San Diego 6-5.
