Classic Big West vs West Coast Conference action in this one. These are two California schools that are not expecting to do too much this season.
Long Beach State always schedules a challenging non conference slate so don’t let that ugly record fool you into believing they are a terrible team.
Pepperdine Waves
The Waves are looking to break a two game losing streak in this road contest. They are 0-4 on the road this season.
They will be without an important cog in Kameron Edwards, who is averaging 14ppg. He is out indefinitely.

Guard Colbey Ross had a strong freshman season last year at 14ppg but he has upped that to almost 20 this season. He leads the team in assists too and almost always has the ball in his hands. Turnovers can be an issue sometimes.
The Waves do not have much size. Edwards is their leading rebounder and nobody who plays significantly is any taller than 6’9″. That might not hurt them in this matchup though.
Long Beach State 49ers
Three wins in 12 game is not good but they beat Iona who is solid and have had some close losses so far. The 49ers will probably be somewhat of a factor in the Big West this season.
Normally they are a very sound defensive team but that has been a struggle this season – they are yielding close to 80ppg.

They are also led by a scoring point guard, Deishuan Booker. He averages 14ppg but has been inconsistent. He scored 31 against UCLa in their opener but also has 5 games in single digits.
Center Temidayo Yussuf is just 6’7″. He is round and powerful though getting a little better every season. He is not shy about throwing his 265 pounds around.

Free Pepperdine Waves vs. Long Beach State 49ers NCAAB Prediction:
I think the 49ers will be the favourites in this one. They are at home and that record might not really indicate as much as we think.
This is likely to be a competitive game. It is hard to see how either team would dominate.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Long Beach State -4.5
I think there could be some vale on the home team as long as the spread is in the range of a possession.
