Result: Loss
Point Spread: 19.00 | -106.00 Pepperdine (Away)
Result: Loss
The set-up: The 13-6 BYU Cougars will host the 5-13 Pepperdine Waves in WCC action tonight in college hoops. The Cougars are coming off an 88-75 loss at San Diego and are 4-2 in conference play, while the Waves come in on a three-game slide, falling to 1-5 in conference play.
Pepperdine: The Waves can't match BYU's size up front and are led by the backcourt duo of Murray (20.1 & 5.6) and Major (11.2 & 4.1 APG), teaming with the 6-7 Reyes (15.0 & 7.7) in the frontcourt. However, with this pointspread, the Waves don't need to win to grab the cash.
BYU: The Cougars have a deep backcourt with Emery (15.1), Haws (13.5) and PG Rose (5.9-5.2-5.3) plus even with the loss of the 6-8 Davis (8.8 & 4.0) for the season up front, still have the 6-10 Mika (20.5 & 9.5) and the 6-8 Childs (8.5 & 7.5).
The pick: Again, this is not about which team earns the win, it's about the margin of victory for BYU. The Cougars have no reason to feel threatened by the Waves and note that the underdog has covered in each of the last seven meetings in this series. Make it EIGHT in a row for the 'dog, as Pepperdine is a 10* play.
