The Pacific Tigers and Pepperdine Waves face off on Thursday in a college basketball showdown at Firestone Fieldhouse.

The Pacific Tigers come into this game with a 5-1 record overall and their only loss this season came against Nevada. Since that point they have won four games straight and each of the last two games they have also covered the spread. On the season Pacific is averaging 67 points per game while their defense is giving up 61.4 points per game. Pacific is shooting 40.8 percent from the field and 30.9 percent from behind the three point line. Daniss Jenkins has been the best player for Pacific averaging 15 points while shooting 41.7 percent from the field and 21.1 percent from behind the three point line.

On the other side of this matchup is the Pepperdine Waves who come into this game with a 5-6 record overall and coming into this one they have lost three of the last four games. The one win during that stretch was in their last game against Portland, a game they were able to score 80 points in. On the season, Pepperdine is averaging 74 points per game while their defense is giving up 78.8 points per game. Forward Kessler Edwards has been the best player for Pepperdine averaging 17.3 points while shooting 49.6 percent from the field

Pacific is 7-1 against the spread in their last eight games against the West Coast. Pacific is 19-6-1 in their last 26 games played on Thursday. The over is 8-2 in the last ten meetings played between the two teams in Pepperdine. Pacific is 5-2-1 against the spread in the last eight meetings played between the two teams. 

Pepperdine’s play has taken a real downward turn, and even at home I think there are going to be some major struggles in this game. Look for Pacific’s defense to lock down and that will be enough to come away with the cover of the spread. I also think this is going to be a low scoring game and this game will stay well under the posted total.
