Pepperdine vs Saint Mary's College Basketball Betting Preview
Pepperdine is on an incredible run in the WCC Tournament. The Waves have won three games in three days, toppling a higher seed in each matchup.
Unfortunately for them, they now get the buzzsaw that is Saint Mary’s in the semifinals.
The Gaels are rested, as well, having not played since Saturday, March 1. That’s a stark contrast from Pepperdine’s fourth game in four days, and the Waves could run out of gas in the second half against such a superior foe.
