Pepperdine vs Santa Clara Betting Prediction

Now we have the Pepperdine vs Santa Clara Betting Prediction for both teams.

Pepperdine vs Santa Clara Betting Prediction: Waves

Here is the Pepperdine vs Santa Clara Betting Prediction for the Waves:

If you enjoy Cinderella tales or Overs, the WCC Championship has been an entertaining competition. The Pepperdine Waves are in the quarterfinals as a No. 9 seed following back-to-back outright upsets, and teams have a combined 5-0 O/U record. It has delivered both through three rounds.

For this game’s best bet, we’re concentrating on the initial plotline continuing. Pepperdine exceeded the total in their games against Oregon State (147.5) and Portland (156), so why not a third time?

Moe Odum, the point guard, has been outstanding in the first two games. He maintained his dominance as an effective floor general against Oregon State (17 points, 10 assists) then took over the Portland game on his own (31 points, 11 assists).

One of the WCC’s strongest one-two punches is his combination with Stefan Todorovic (18.5 ppg). Against the Beavers, the Serbian forward scored 34 points, going 5-for-9 from 3-point range and 10-for-18 from the field.

March is a hot month for players, and Pepperdine has been playing so effectively offensively that it should help the team score. Playing under a new head coach (Ed Schilling) and coping with the damage and aftermath of the Franklin and Palisades fires, the talented Waves struggled to gel for a large portion of the season. With a 5-1 O/U run in their past six games, it seems logical that a quality club would be clicking toward the end of the season.

Pepperdine vs Santa Clara Betting Prediction: Broncos

Here is the Pepperdine vs Santa Clara Betting Prediction for the Broncos:

With a 13th-place rating on BartTorvik since the beginning of February, the Santa Clara Broncos are no laughing matter. With a dangerous offensive average of 81.5 points per game, they always find ways to score, attack the rim mercilessly (17th in Haslametrics’ near-proximity attempt rate), and scorch the nets from downtown (37.8% from 3-point range).

It should be possible for Herb Sendek’s team to take advantage of a Pepperdine defense that finds it difficult to defend any style of look. The Waves give plenty of open looks from behind the arc (282nd in 3-point attempt rate, 201st in 3-point field goal defense) and are a layup line down low (256th in near-proximity attempt rate, 284th in near-proximity field goal defense).

According to Bart Torvik, the Broncos scored 91 points in the first game and are expected to have greater success against a Pepperdine defense that has been rated 319th in defensive effectiveness since February 1.

Both teams, which rank in the top 80 in adjusted speed, enjoy playing at a fast pace. While the Waves will try to keep playing high-scoring games to increase their chances of winning, Santa Clara should play quickly in an attempt to take advantage of Pepperdine’s worn-out legs.

I had Santa Clara circled as a team I wanted to support prior to the event. Despite having excellent analytics and playing fantastic basketball, the Broncos have been a bit of a “forgotten team” in the conference.

With wing Adama Bal averaging 13.1 points per game, four players average double figures. They are less likely to become agitated if one person’s shot isn’t falling because they aren’t dependent on one player defeating you.

Sendek’s club finished the season on a 7-1 ATS run, easily defeating presumed rivals (30-point victory over Washington State, 15-point victory over LMU), and thrashing bad opponents (20+ point victories over San Diego, Portland, and Pacific twice).

Their advantage on defense is ridiculous (300 positions higher in adjusted defensive efficiency since February 1 per BartTorvik), and their fresh legs will be vital in a game that is expected to be played at a fast pace.
