Stephen Nover's CBB Total of the Month
(NCAAB) Pepperdine vs. San Francisco, 02/24/2024 10:00 PM, Score: 68 - 92
Total: 149.50 | -110.00 Over
Result: Win
Pepperdine has gone Over in five of its last six games. The Waves are averaging 90 points in their last two games, but their defense remains awful.

Pepperdine ranks 269th in scoring defense, 357th in defensive field goal percentage and 356th in 3-point defense. Just three games ago they yielded 103 points to St. Mary's, which is 27 points above the Gaels' season average. 

San Francisco certainly can exploit such a weak defense, especially at home. The Dons average 78.6 points. They rank 12th in field goal percentage. The Dons have scored at least 90 points in four of their last seven home games. 

Defensively, though, the Dons have surrendered 70 or more points in eight of their last 10 games.
