Preview: Pepperdine at Kansas
I don’t know that there will be much to preview for the next four games. Pepperdine, Northern Colorado, Yale, and New Orleans are all bad teams. I’ll do my best to point out the particular ways each team is bad but those particulars may not have much relevance over the course of a single basketball game which shouldn’t be close.
Outside of the debuts of Rodrick Stewart and Darnell Jackson, the only way I can foresee the recaps of these games being interesting is if something bad happens. I’m wishing for a boring, healthy two weeks of basketball.
Other than senior guard Tashaan Forehan-Kelly, Pepperdine is a bad shooting team every which way a team can shoot a basketball. Their field goal defense is okay but their team defense is ineffective as they give up a lot of offensive rebounds and put their opponents on the free throw line quite often.
Prediction: Kansas 82 Pepperdine 63

If you really believe 82-63, you should lay down a bet, as the lines that I’ve seen are at KU -17.5.
I think KU should cover fairly easily, and that the final score will be
KU 86
Pepperdine 62
