WAVEPOINTS
• Coming off an overtime loss at Southern Utah on Saturday, the Pepperdine men's basketball team continues its post-finals road trip with a visit to Oregon State on Monday night.
• The Waves and Beavers are meeting for the first time since the 1982 NCAA Tournament. The schools also played in Corvallis that season.
• The Waves have already matched their 2017-18 win total, with their sixth victory coming in the 10th game.
• Lorenzo Romar's second stint as head coach with the Waves is well underway. Romar now has 397 career wins, three shy of a milestone 400.
• Colbey Ross, who led the Waves with 24 points at Southern Utah, is fourth in the WCC in scoring (20.3) and second in assists (6.8). Nationally, he ranks third in free throws made (77) and 13th in assists.
• Jadé Smith is coming off his first career double-double, with 10 points and 10 rebounds at Southern Utah.
• Darryl Polk Jr. tied a Pepperdine freshman single-game record with five steals at Southern Utah.
• The Waves lead the WCC in turnover margin (+3.7) and they've committed fewer turnovers than the opponent in 10 of 11 games.
• The Waves hope to stay healthy after being decimated by injuries the last two years. They lost 99 player-games in 2016-17 and 81 in 2017-18. But, last year's leading scorer, Kameron Edwards, has already missed eight games, including the last seven.
• After returning to Southern California, the Waves have another road game at Long Beach State on Thursday, and then go 10 days without a game due to the Christmas break.

PEPPERDINE — Pepperdine boasts a one-of-a-kind athletic department with unprecedented success for a school of its size. The Waves have won NCAA Division I championships in five different men's sports — one of just 18 schools to have accomplished this feat — and nine overall. Of this elite group, Pepperdine has the smallest undergraduate enrollment, is the only school without football and is the only university that has not been affiliated with a "major" conference. The Waves have won a total of 25 team or individual national championships in their history. Pepperdine has also earned the Division I-AAA All-Sports Trophy, an award based on postseason success that's given to the top non-football school, three times (most recently in 2011-12). The Waves have produced 205 conference championships, 318 All-Americans and 53 Olympians. Located in scenic Malibu, California, the university overlooks the Pacific Ocean and its campus and athletic facilities are regularly voted among the nation's most beautiful. Pepperdine, which is affiliated with the Church of Christ, ranks #46 overall on U.S. News and World Report's list of America's best colleges.
