Pepperdine vs Oregon State Prediction

Oregon State is the more talented team and has 10 home wins, but it doesn’t shoot the ball well enough to put up these sorts of numbers. Oregon State is one of the worst teams in the country at scoring and field goal percentage. Pepperdine has issues of its own, but it is coming off strong upset wins over Portland and Loyola Marymount. Maybe Pepperdine is making a last-second push before March arrives? Oregon State should win, but I’m going to grab the points. Oregon State isn’t this good to lay these types of numbers.
