6. Pepperdine
Last week: 6 (Idle)
Record: 15-13 (8-8)
RPI: 121
KenPom: 138
Place in Conf. Standings: 5
This past week: W @ LMU 72-69
Pepperdine ended its three game losing streak this weekend, knocking of its crosstown rival LMU by three points.
With the win, the Waves reclaimed fifth place in the standings, which is their ceiling seeding wise. However, they still need to fend off the Portland Pilots for their top five finish.
In order to do that, the Waves need to at least split their upcoming games, where they host Santa Clara on Thursday and San Francisco on Saturday.
