ANALYSIS:
Per this website's calculations, Pepperdine is somewhere between an average to slightly above-average D1 ball-club. Ranked 151st overall (out of 353) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 16-18. They are also ranked by this site as the #7 team (out of 10) in the WCC (average ranking 125.9).

Pepperdine will likely rely on their offense more than anything else to win games. The team is ranked 132nd in offensive efficiency and scores more than 104 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Pepperdine does a really good job converting from the free throw line. Making 75.9% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked 30th nationally in free throw percentage. Moreover, they get ample opportunity to beat you from the line, as the ball-club falls in the top-100 in free throw attempt rate with a rating of 27.91 vs. AO. Pepperdine is also one of the more accurate teams in the college game when it comes to shooting the three. They're ranked 50th nationally in three-point field goal percentage and make about 37.1% of their attempts from there vs. AO. The team will try to shoot a fair amount of threes, too. Roughly 42.9% of their field goal attempts vs. AO are from long, giving the team a top-75 ranking in that category. If Pepperdine does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's inability to drain mid-range jumpers. The squad makes just 29.9% of their mid-range field goal attempts vs. AO, which ranks 11th-worst in the nation.

Pepperdine plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 171st nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 104 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Pepperdine has been doing fairly decent work to prevent opponents from getting off shots from the field. The club is ranked 71st in Division I in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 80.99 vs. AO.
