ANALYSIS:
They're far from the worst of the worst, but Pepperdine should not be a terribly frightening opponent for most clubs. Carrying a record of 6-26, they are currently rated #248 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 10 schools in the WCC (average ranking 153.0), they're currently ranked as our #8 team in the conference.

If there is a strength for Pepperdine this year, it's probably on the offensive end of the court. The team is rated 171st in offensive efficiency, scoring more than 101 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Pepperdine will shoot more mid-range jumpers than most teams. The club is ranked 58th in ratio of mid-range attempts to total field goal attempts. As far as converting those mid-range shots goes, the team shoots a mediocre 37.2% vs. AO.

The defense for Pepperdine, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the offense is. The team is ranked 320th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 110 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Pepperdine does a very lackluster job preventing opponents from draining threes. They rank 326th nationally in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make 38.9% of their attempts from afar. And to expose that weakness, AO will gladly launch the three all day and all night. Of AO's total field goals, a large chunk of them (40.9%) will be from long-distance. Pepperdine has also done a pretty poor job this season to prevent opponents from making shots from the inside. The team is ranked 313th in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on 65.2% of their attempts from close-up.

Pepperdine has been playing much better basketball as of late and is presently ranked second in positive momentum because of it. Pepperdine is also one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked 13th in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict. When playing on the road, Pepperdine has played their best basketball this season. The team is currently ranked 22nd in the country in the away-from-home metric our site tracks.
