ANALYSIS: If you see Pepperdine on the schedule, you will likely get one of the average to below-average teams in college hoops. Ranked 186th overall (out of 362) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 13-20. They are also ranked by this site as the #5 team (out of nine) in the WCC (average ranking 162.7).
Pepperdine will likely rely on their offense more than anything else to win games. The team is ranked 167th in offensive efficiency and scores more than 105 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Pepperdine favors the mid-range jumper over any of the others. The club is ranked 42nd in ratio of mid-range attempts to total field goal attempts. If you do allow them to take that in-between shot, they can certainly make it, too. Currently rated in the top-75 in mid-range shooting percentage, they make roughly 41.6% of their attempts from that distance vs. AO.
Pepperdine doesn't perform as well defensively as they do offensively. The team is ranked 244th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 108 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Pepperdine does an extremely poor job to deny the opposition behind the arc. They rank tenth from the bottom nationally in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make 38.2% of their attempts from afar. Luckily, AO will take nowhere near as many threes as they typically would, and only 32.9% of AO's field goal attempts will come from downtown. Pepperdine also allows opponents' field goal percentages to get far too high. The ball-club ranks #321 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO will convert approximately 47.1% of their total attempts from the floor. If Pepperdine does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their success stopping opponents from earning second-chance opportunities via offensive boards. The team has a rating of 11.38 in potential points allowed off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 43rd-best in college hoops.
Pepperdine has been playing much better basketball as of late and is presently ranked 25th in positive momentum because of it. Pepperdine has also been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked 349th overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult to predict.
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location. Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.
CURIOUS TRENDS:
When facing teams that have trouble defending the mid-range shot, Pepperdine often performs better than normal. Pepperdine is more efficient than usual 91% of the time when facing teams that have a defensive mid-range field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 38.77%. In their other contests, Pepperdine performs better than the norm 20% of the time.
Pepperdine does worse vs. clubs that convert more frequently off of offensive rebounds. When playing squads that have an offensive second-chance conversion percentage vs. AO greater than 7.03%, Pepperdine never performs above average. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 67% of the time.
Pepperdine performs better against squads that do not defend well on the perimeter. When facing teams that have a defensive three-point field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 33.58%, Pepperdine is more efficient than normal 67% of the time. In their other contests, the team is never more efficient than the norm.
