Mr. Thompson is only a Sophomore, but he is legitimately the team leader. That shows how youthful this team really is. He is averaging 11.3 PPG, 3.3 RPG although he is only shooting 39% from the field and 36% from the perimeter.
My Take:
Pepperdine is the worst team in the WCC. They have been through a lot over the last few years with the firing of Paul Westphal and then the sudden resignation of Vance Wahlberg, and as such this is a young team with a lot of holes. Don't expect anything short of Demolition Derby. I fully expect the Zags to cause some sort of Explosion within the confines of Malibu.
Final Score: Gonzaga 101 Pepperdine 47
