WAVEPOINTS
• It hasn't been easy making a Pepperdine-San Francisco game happen this season, but the Waves and Dons are finally set to play on Wednesday.
• This game was moved from January 7 to February 9, and then to February 10. Pepperdine and USF were also supposed to play in Malibu this past Saturday but that game was postponed due to the Dons' COVID-19 pause that has just ended.
• Colbey Ross was named WCC Player of the Week on Monday (the third of his career) after his 24-point, 12-assist effort against Portland this past weekend.
• Ross continues to move up the WCC's all-time stat rankings. He's currently 10th in points (2,034) and needs 12 more to match USD's Johnny Dee for ninth place. He's third all-time in assists (769), 47 away from SMC's Emmitt Naar and second place.
• Ross recently became the first player in program history and the 13th in WCC history to reach 2,000 career points. Ross is one of just eight players in the history of Division I men's basketball to accumulate 2,000 points, 750 assists and 400 rebounds.
• Among active Division I players, Ross ranks first in career assists (769) and free throws made (597), fourth in points (2,034) and seventh in scoring average (17.8).
• Ross ranks #2 in the nation and #1 in the WCC in assists per game (7.6). Ross is sixth in the WCC in scoring (16.9). 
• Kessler Edwards, who earned his first WCC Player of the Week award on January 25, ranks fourth in the WCC in blocks (1.2) and fifth in scoring (17.4) and rebounding (6.8). He is up to seventh all-time in blocked shots at Pepperdine (113).
• Three Waves had double-doubles in Saturday's win at Portland (Ross, Edwards with 11 points and 10 rebounds and Kene Chukwuka with 10 points and 10 rebounds).
• Pepperdine is #8 in the country in free throw percentage (79.6%) and #9 in three-point defense (27.8%).
• The Waves were supposed to play at Loyola Marymount on Thursday but that game is off due to the Lions' COVID-19 pause. Pepperdine's next game is Saturday at home against Saint Mary's on CBS Sports Network.

WAVECASTS — The San Francisco game can be listened to online via WaveCasts at PepperdineWaves.com. Veteran play-by-play man Al Epstein, a 2015 Pepperdine Athletics Hall of Fame inductee who is now in his 36th season, will be behind the microphone. This will be his 1,086th consecutive men's basketball broadcast for the Waves.

WATCH — The game will be televised locally on FOX Sports Prime Ticket and elsewhere on NBC Sports Bay Area, FOX Sports San Diego, FOX Sports Arizona and ROOT Sports Northwest. In markets where the game will not be televised, it will be available online with the WCC Network. Roxy Bernstein and Dan Belluomini have the call.

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). 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 #49 overall on U.S. News and World Report's list of America's best colleges.
