The first time these two teams met, the BYU Cougars won by ten. This is a game BYU needs to win as they are on the outside of the bubble looking in. BYU has an edge on the glass which should lead to second-chance points for the Cougars. Pepperdine is 1-5 ATS in their last six home games, 0-4 ATS in their last four games following a straight-up win, and 1-9 ATS in their last ten games against a team with a winning percentage above .600. BYU has the 30th ranked defense while Pepperdine's offense is only ranked 203rd. The Cougars have covered in their past three games. Take the better team in this one and I look for the Cougars to roll to a double-digit win.
