We'll find out just how good my power ratings are because I have Pepperdine rated ahead of Richmond. Getting these points is just a huge bonus.

The Wave averages nearly 9 more points per game than Richmond and gives up five fewer points per game. No team defends the 3-pointer better than Pepperdine, which ranks No. 1 in the country in that category.

The Spiders have failed to cover in 5 of their last 6 non-league games while Pepperdine is 20-6-1 ATS in its last 27 non-conference matchups.
