PEPPERDINE BASKETBALL SEASON INFORMATION

SEASON OUTLOOK

and it’s still not quite a veteran team. “Although we have a lot of returners, we have to be careful not to put too lofty expectations on the team because we’re still going to be extremely young,” Asbury said. “The bulk of this team is going to be freshmen and sophomores, numerically. We can’t just assume that because we’ve got a lot of experience back, we’re going to be world-beaters. We’re going to be better, we’re going to be more consistent and we’re going to be stronger physically, but our preseason schedule is going to be challenging and maybe even a little over our heads. But that was done by design.” Some of those non-conference challenges include three games against NCAA Tournament teams of a year ago, including a visit a few miles up the road to UCLA and home games against Utah and Portland State. The Waves host two other postseason teams in Miami (Fla.) and Pacific, and also play in a tournament at Wyoming. The goal, of course, is to have the Waves battle-tested and ready for WCC play. Pepperdine recorded at least one win against four of the other conference schools last season, but struggled against the top three MYCHEL THOMPSON teams of Gonzaga, Saint Mary’s and Portland. “I think we will be able to play with anybody in the league and you couldn’t say that last year,” said Asbury, who is again assisted by Marty Wilson, Damin Lopez and Will Kimble. “Maybe we won’t be competitive with Gonzaga just yet, but the gap will be closing. We showed last year we could play with everybody except for the top three teams. Now it’s a matter of getting into that upper echelon. That’s the direction we’re going, and whether or not we get there this year will remain to be seen. But I feel like by next year we should be in that upper crust of teams.” With a sizeable number of returning players, plus a few talented freshmen thrown into the mix, one of Asbury’s greatest challenges is determining how minutes on the court will be sorted out. “Early on, we want to play a lot of guys, not just to evaluate them but because they deserve to play,” he said. “I’ve never had a team where every scholarship player was someone I wouldn’t be reluctant to throw into a game. We’ve got at least 13 guys who will play and have the opportunity to produce. But by the time league play starts, those numbers have got to come down because you can’t play that many effectively. Somebody has to fall by the wayside, but right now I couldn’t tell you who that will be. We will need some players to step up and win those jobs and play consistently.” While any of the positions may be up for grabs, the Waves know they can start with an outstanding tandem in junior Mychel Thompson, who plays on the wing, and sophomore shooting guard Keion Bell. Thompson (Portland, Ore./Santa Margarita Catholic HS/ Stoneridge Prep) is the only scholarship player that has been on the roster for two previous seasons. A 6-foot-7, two-year starter

When discussing the players on his 2009-10 Pepperdine men’s basketball team, there is one common thread in head coach Tom Asbury’s comments. Each of his young men had a greatly productive offseason in the weight room, which has turned a young, less-than-imposing team of a year ago into one that will be much more physically able to compete at the Division I level. When Asbury returned as head coach in February 2008, he and his staff had to scramble to put together a roster. They were able to bring in a large late-signing recruiting class that had talent, but was still very raw. The freshmen-laden team took its lumps last season against bigger and stronger teams, but that is on the way toward changing, Asbury says. “Each and every one of them has gotten bigger and stronger and noticeably so,” said Asbury, who is 134-82 in seven seasons as Pepperdine’s head coach and 219-170 in 13 seasons overall. “We took before and after pictures, and when you look at the contrast, it’s amazing. I think they should take a great deal of pride in their efforts. We told them last February, turn on the television and look at the bodies and the size of the guys that are playing through March and into April. If you want to be TOM ASBURY really good, that’s what you need to look like. And they’ve worked toward that.” Asbury led one of the best stretches in Pepperdine’s history in the early ‘90s, and was brought back to help restore some of the luster and continuity that the program had lacked in previous years. His young Waves overcame some early-season struggles and painful learning opportunities to win a first-round game at the West Coast Conference Tournament, finish sixth in the WCC with a 5-9 mark and post a 9-23 overall record. “The two things that hurt us the most last year were our physical size and stature, and turning the ball over,” Asbury said. “With everyone being so new, they were unfamiliar with the system and that led to turnovers. Physically, we didn’t match up with our opponents, but we’re going to be far superior to where we were last year strength and conditioning-wise, and I hope we’re going to be a smarter basketball team in terms of turning the ball over. We’ve got smart guys, they were just young. We got better at it as we went along and started to win some games.” So smart, in fact, that Asbury’s commitment to having a team that is successful in both the classroom and on the court has already paid dividends. The team has a cumulative grade-point average of nearly 3.0, up almost a half of a grade point in the last year. The 2009-10 Waves may have already set a school record as 11 letterwinners return from last season, a figure that is believed to be among the most in program history. The top five point scorers from last season all return, and four of them were freshmen and the other was a sophomore. Freshmen scored more than half of the team’s total points last year. Still, only two players have been in a Waves uniform for more than one season, and just one of them is on scholarship. Throw in the fact that there are no seniors on the 2009-10 squad

sometimes gets so sped up that it hurts his effectiveness.” Moore (Cypress, Calif./Los Alamitos HS), at 6-foot-10, started more games at center (21) than anyone else last season. He averaged 3.1 points and 4.6 rebounds and hit 50.6% of his shots. “Corbin completely retooled his body,” Asbury said. “He made himself into much more of a physical specimen and he’s going to be far improved. We had to throw him to the wolves last year. He wasn’t really ready for this level of competition, but he did a good job. He got beaten up a bit, but he never got down on himself and all that is going to help him.” Agre (Sofia, Bulgaria/Central Arizona JC) got off to a nice start last year but became academically ineligible for the spring semester. The 6-foot-8 center averaged 3.2 points and 3.6 rebounds in the first 16 games. “The things that Denis brings to the table are rebounding and toughness,” Asbury said. “He’s a physical presence inside: a screensetter, a rebounder and a post defender.” Clardy (Nacogdoches, Texas/Nacogdoches HS), despite his walk-on status, played a bigger role on Pepperdine’s frontline as the season went on. The 6-foot-8 forward even started four games and averaged 1.1 points and 2.0 rebounds in 9.3 minutes. Besides Thompson, TAYLOR DARBY he is the only other player to have been on the team for two previous seasons. “Gus began his season by not playing at all, but then he ended up contributing and starting a few games,” Asbury said. “He improved a lot and really learned how to play — defending, taking care of the ball and making good shots. He turned himself into a reliable player for us.” Dupré (Houston, Texas/Marshall HS/Collin County HS) was a key reserve on last year’s team, as the 6-foot-8 forward showed a nice jump shot and averaged 4.4 points and 2.3 rebounds in 15.7 minutes. “JD worked really hard in the offseason,” Asbury said. “He’s a guy who can really score from the perimeter. He was a little up and down in his first year here but it was his first year at this level. As long as he continues to improve his physical toughness, he will contribute.” The 7-foot Shannon (Carmichael, Calif./El Camino HS) was one of the league’s top shot blockers despite very limited playing time as a freshman. He came off the bench in 23 games and averaged 1.0 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.7 blocks (10th in the conference) in 8.5 minutes. “Andy was a redshirt candidate when he first got here, but we didn’t have enough guys to allow him to redshirt,” Asbury said. “He ended up working himself into some playing time. He’s put on 40 pounds and bought into what we wanted him to do. He will compete for a starting spot in the post.” Kerry (Sydney, Australia/Cranbrook School) is the lone newcomer among the big men but has a great deal of upside after an excellent school and club career in his native Australia. The 6-foot-9 post player has excellent genes, as his father was an Olympic gold medalist in swimming.

who has been voted team captain in 2009-10, he averaged 8.1 points as a freshman and was up to 9.6 points as a sophomore, second-best on the team. He has made 91 career three-pointers and is likely to break into Pepperdine’s top 10 this season. “Mychel might have made as much progress as anyone during the offseason,” Asbury said. “The fact that he was voted captain by a landslide shows the respect that the players have for him as a leader. Even though he’s a quiet leader, he leads by example. He’s versatile. He can step out and shoot it, he can put the ball on the floor, he can defend, he’s a very complete player. I expect great things from him.” Bell (Los Angeles, Calif./Pasadena HS) was a revelation as a freshman, showing skills that will make him one of the conference’s most dynamic players for the next three seasons, and dunking ability that may make him a YouTube legend. The 6-foot-3 guard was named to the WCC All-Freshman team after averaging team highs of 12.9 points, 2.2 assists and 1.5 steals. His showing at the Say No Classic summer league prompted one local sportswriter to call him arguably the best college player in all of Southern California. “I think Keion will be one of the top players in the conference,” Asbury said. “He’s improved his body, gotten bigger and stronger, and has a better understanding of the game and what we want to do. He’s a KEION BELL pretty complete player. Once he makes a consistent jump shot and commits fewer turnovers, he may be the best player in the league at some point in time.” Sophomore Dane Suttle Jr. (Los Angeles, Calif./ Westchester HS/Summit College Prep) is another offensiveminded player that is expected to make progress after his initial year. The 6-foot-6 wing averaged 6.3 points in just 15.5 minutes per game. “Dane has improved and streamlined his body,” Asbury said. “He came in with some injuries and has done a good job of rehabbing and retooling his body. He has always been able to shoot and put the ball in the basket. Now he just has to defend and rebound better. I’m expecting a good year and some big strides from Dane.” The Waves have many options at the two post positions, where the team’s offseason commitment to strength training will have its largest impact. Sophomores Taylor Darby and Corbin Moore were the starters last season at power forward and center, respectively. Juniors Denis Agre, Gus Clardy and Jonathan Dupré, sophomore Andy Shannon and freshman Tanner Kerry are all vying for playing time at the positions. Darby (San Marcos, Calif./Mission Hills HS) started 31 of 32 games last season, more than anyone else on the team, and averaged 6.1 points and a team-best 6.1 rebounds. The 6-foot-8 forward ranked ninth in the WCC in rebounds and was second among freshmen. “Taylor was really a big surprise for us in the sense that he ended up playing as much as he did,” Asbury said. “He’s an extremely hard worker, worked really hard in the offseason and improved his body a lot. He’s a good rebounder, shot blocker and defender. He needs to continue to work on his offensive skills. He

said. “He is a solid defender and he’s going to be a nice player.” Willis (Stockbridge, Ga./Stockbridge HS) is also an extra year removed from playing high school basketball. He graduated from high school in 2008 and was the county’s player of the year, but spent an extra year getting himself into better shape to play college basketball. The 6-foot-2 Willis dropped nearly 50 pounds in the process. “Caleb was a late find for us,” Asbury said. “Just by looking at him, you can tell he is a strong and physical player. He advances the ball very well, plays well with the ball in the open court and is a solid defender. He just has to work on his jump shot but he’s made significant strides.” Three other walk-ons round out the squad: sophomore Richard Branning (Menlo Park, Calif./Menlo-Atherton HS) and freshmen Zach Kimber (Huntington Beach, Calif./Huntington Beach HS) and Matt Olson (Hunts Point, Wash./Bellevue HS). In the roughly 20 months since his return, Asbury has overhauled the program — both on the court and off — for the better, starting with the 16 players currently on the roster, 14 of which have come aboard since his return. “I would say that we’re on schedule,” he said. “I wasn’t sure that would be the case when I first got here. If you would have asked me a year ago if we could LORNE JACKSON get on schedule in this amount of time, I would have said I don’t know, it would be tough. But right now we are in the process of being where I want to be. In terms of the kids working hard and being great students, we have achieved that. They’ve done a great job of buying into academics and what the mission of the University is all about.”

“Tanner is a versatile post player who can step out and shoot the ball a little bit,” Asbury said. “He’s physically tough, can run the floor and make the open shot. He’ll probably make his share of freshman mistakes but we think he will be a really nice player for us.” The battle to earn minutes at point guard will be an interesting subplot in the early season, where sophomore Lorne Jackson is joined by freshmen Joshua Lowery and Caleb Willis. Each of the three is versatile enough to slide over to shooting guard if needed. Jackson (Simi Valley, Calif./Simi Valley HS) was the team’s third-leading scorer last season as a freshman at 6.6 points per game. He earned 14 starts at point guard. However, the 6-foot-2 Jackson is coming off a knee injury and has only recently been cleared to play. “Lorne has the opportunity to be the point guard this year,” Asbury said. “He had the opportunity last year, but there were some seniors ahead of him. He hasn’t played competitively in six months, but he has responded well to his rehabilitation. His body is in better shape and mentally he’s ready to go. I think he will be a good player for us this year.” Lowery (Phoenix, Ariz./ Desert Vista HS) won a state title and was an all-state selection as a junior in Arizona. Unfortunately, CORBIN MOORE he had to sit out his senior year due to state regulations limiting an athlete to four seasons of high school basketball (the 6-foot-2 Lowery played as an eighth grader in the state of Washington). Still, he kept in shape and got himself ready for the transition to college basketball. “Joshua is a smart, competitive player who came out of a quality program in Arizona where he was well-coached,” Asbury

30+ YEARS OF SUCCESS ON THE WEST COAST Over the 31-year period that began with the 1978-79 season and runs through 2008-09, the numbers show that Pepperdine is one of the top Division I basketball programs on the West Coast. The three columns on the right rank the 31 NCAA Division I schools from California, Oregon and Washington on their overall wins, winning percentage and postseason appearances over the last 31 years. The Waves rank in the top five in all three categories, including the third-most postseason appearances during that span. Several of the schools within this three-state area have moved up to Division I in recent years, and only their records as a Division I school are shown.

TOM ASBURY HEAD COACH • 8TH SEASON WYOMING ‘68 The architect of one of the most successful stretches in Pepperdine men’s basketball history, Tom Asbury is now in his second stint in charge of the Waves’ program. The 200910 campaign will mark his eighth season overall as head coach in Malibu and second this time around. In earlier days, Asbury was at Pepperdine for 15 seasons, the first nine as an assistant coach (1980-88) and then the next six as the head coach (1989-94). He then served as head coach at Kansas State from 1995-2000 and was most recently an assistant coach at Alabama from 2004-07 before returning to Pepperdine. He now has a 219-170 (.563) record in 13 seasons as a college head coach. “There are very few people that have been as much a part of Pepperdine’s success in basketball over the years as Tom Asbury,” said Pepperdine Athletic Director John Watson at Asbury’s hiring in February 2008. “For 15 years he was a major reason why Pepperdine was the class of the West Coast Conference. I’m elated that he has decided to return home and take over the head coaching reins for next year. So many things made this an easy decision in the end: Tom’s history with Pepperdine, the fact that he is so well-respected by his co-workers and peers, his reputation as a coach and recruiter. We’re looking forward to his return to the bench and I believe he will again make Pepperdine a team that competes for league championships and postseason bids.” Asbury went 125-59 (.679) in his first six seasons with the Waves, who went to the postseason five times in six years with three NCAA Tournament appearances (1991, ’92, ’94) and two berths in the NIT (1989, ’93). Pepperdine won three regular-season West Coast Conference titles, finished no worse than second in any of the six seasons and compiled a league record of 66-18 (.786). Pepperdine’s only three WCC Tournament championships have come under Asbury. The 125 victories marked the best six-season win total in Pepperdine’s history since 1951. The Waves have had four 20-win seasons with Asbury at the helm, including a high of 24 wins in 1991-92, a season in which Pepperdine also went a perfect 14-0 in the WCC. In fact, Pepperdine established a conference record by winning 32 consecutive league games from 1991-93 (38 straight including WCC Tournament games). Asbury was named WCC Coach of the Year in 1991 and 1992. Firestone Fieldhouse was a particularly tough place for Pepperdine opponents during Asbury’s first tenure, as the Waves went 60-17 (.779) in home games. Asbury served as Pepperdine’s lead assistant coach for nine seasons (1980-88) under Jim Harrick before becoming head coach. During those nine years, the Waves went 16797 (.633) and went to the NCAA Tournament four times and the NIT twice. When Harrick left for UCLA in April 1988, Asbury was the obvious choice to replace him. Asbury proceeded to direct the 1988-89 Waves to a 20-13 record. Pepperdine finished in a second-place tie in the WCC standings and notched its first postseason victory since 1982 when the Waves posted an 84-69 win at New Mexico State in a first-round NIT contest. Pepperdine started slowly during the 1989-90 season but rallied during the second half of the campaign. The Waves won eight of their last nine, including a record-setting 131-123 homecourt win over nationally ranked Loyola Marymount. Pepperdine was hoping for a rematch with the Lions in the championship game of the WCC Tournament, but that never materialized following the death of Hank Gathers and the cancellation of the tournament. The Waves posted a

17-11 record and a second-place finish in the WCC, but unfortunately were left out of the postseason for the only time during Asbury’s initial tenure. Despite a relatively inexperienced roster and a rugged non-conference schedule, the 1990-91 team jelled into a strong, cohesive unit. Pepperdine concluded league play in first place with a 13-1 record and finished a memorable 16-game winning streak by defeating Saint Mary’s in the championship of the WCC Tournament — a first-time accomplishment for the Waves. Pepperdine advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1986 to face Seton Hall. Asbury was tabbed the District 15 and WCC Coach of the Year as the Waves went 22-9 overall. Doug Christie earned All-American honors and was the WCC Player of the Year. During the 1991-92 season, Pepperdine rolled through WCC play with a perfect 14-0 mark. The Waves captured their second straight WCC Tournament title by beating Gonzaga in the final, and advanced to play Memphis State in the NCAA Tournament. The Waves posted an overall record of 24-7 and won 17 of their final 19 outings. Christie repeated as an All-American and as the WCC Player of the Year, and Asbury was named WCC Coach of the Year for the second time. In 1992-93, the Waves extended their winning streak against conference opponents to a league-record 38 games, and though the streak came to an end, Asbury still led Pepperdine to its third straight WCC regular-season title. A loss to Santa Clara in the championship of the WCC Tournament sent the Waves to the NIT, where they defeated UC Santa Barbara in the first round. Pepperdine finished with a 23-8 record. Dana Jones earned WCC Player of the Year honors. Asbury returned the Waves to the NCAA Tournament in his final season of 1993-94. After tying for second place in the WCC’s regular season, Pepperdine rallied to win the WCC Tournament and defeated San Diego in the final. The Waves lost an overtime heartbreaker to Michigan in the NCAAs and ended the season with a 19-11 record. After the 2008-09 season, in which the Waves went 9-23, his sevenyear record at Pepperdine now stands at 134-82 (.620). Despite a losing record, his young Waves Year School Position Overall Conf.

in 2003 when he joined Mark Gottfried’s staff at Alabama as an assistant coach. He spent four years there (2004-07) before stepping down. He helped the Crimson Tide to a record of 82-46 (.641), which included three 20-win seasons, three NCAA Tournaments and one NIT bid. The 2004 Alabama squad advanced to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. A native of Denver, Asbury was a standout at George Washington High School in the early 1960s and earned varsity letters in basketball, football and track.

MARTY WILSON ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH • 8TH SEASON PEPPERDINE ‘89 Having already compiled an impressive record at Pepperdine as a player, an assistant coach and an interim head coach, 2009-10 will mark Marty Wilson’s second season back in Malibu as the associate head coach. Wilson has been coaching in the college ranks for 19 seasons. He was a four-year letterwinner who graduated from Pepperdine in 1989. He also previously served as an assistant coach for six seasons (1991-96). During his final season in Malibu, he stepped in as interim head coach for the final 13 games. “I am very excited to return home to where my college basketball playing and coaching career began,” said Wilson at his hiring. “I am thankful that Coach Asbury, John Watson and Andy Benton are allowing me the opportunity to return and assist in restoring a program that has such a long tradition of excellence.” During his first six seasons on the Waves’ staff (the first four of which were under Asbury), he helped Pepperdine to a 106-72 (.596) record. He began as the restrictedearnings coach before being elevated to full-time status for the 1994-95 season. He was hired back at Pepperdine in February 2008. With Wilson on the staff, Pepperdine earned bids to the NCAA Tournament in 1991, ‘92 and ‘94 and made the NIT in 1993. The Waves also won West Coast Conference regular-season titles in 1991, ‘92 and ‘93 and WCC Tournament titles in 1991, ‘92 and ‘94. “I’ve had a working professional relationship with Marty going back more than 20 years,” said Asbury at the time of Wilson’s hiring. “He is a highly qualified coach, an outstanding individual and family man and an excellent representative of our university. I’m exceedingly pleased that he chose to join us and return to Pepperdine University. We expect great things from him in the future.” Following Asbury’s departure for Kansas State after the 1993-94 season, Wilson remained on the staff under new head coach Tony Fuller. When Fuller resigned midway through the 1995-96 season, Wilson took over at the age of 28 and directed the Waves to three wins, which included, most notably, an upset of a Steve Nash-led Santa Clara team in the first round of the WCC Tournament. Wilson stayed in Southern California for the next several years, spending two seasons (1996-97 and 1997-98) as an assistant coach at San Diego, where he was also the recruiting coordinator. He spent the next six seasons (1999-2004) at UC Santa Barbara. He was the Gauchos’ top assistant as UCSB averaged 18 wins a season during his last three years there. UC Santa Barbara won the Big West Conference’s West Division in 1999 and captured the 2002 Big West Tournament title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. The Gauchos won the Big West regular season title and made an appearance in the NIT in 2003. Wilson was an assistant the last four seasons (2005-08) at Utah. During his first season, the Utes went 29-6, won the Mountain West Conference’s regular-season title, advanced to the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet Sixteen and finished the year ranked 18th nationally by the Associated Press. As a player with the Waves, Wilson ended his career in fifth place on the all-time assists list with 342 (he still ranks ninth). Under head coach Jim Harrick, Wilson was a backup point guard in 1984-85 and 1985-86, and the Waves advanced to the NCAA Tournament both seasons. A back injury sidelined Wilson for the entire 1986-87 campaign, but he took over as the starting point guard in 1987-88. Unfortunately, he suffered a season-ending knee injury in the 17th game of the season, though the Waves still advanced to the NIT. Asbury took over as head coach in 1988-89, and Wilson’s extensive rehabilitation paid off as he returned to the starting lineup as a senior and led the Waves to a 20-13 record and the second round of the NIT. He graduated from Pepperdine in 1989 with a bachelor’s degree in communications. A native of Pacoima, Calif., Wilson was a prep standout at Simi Valley High School. He was named the Marmonte League’s Most Valuable Player as a 1983-84 senior. One of his teammates was future NBA standout Don MacLean. Wilson once ran a free basketball camp in his hometown for around 100 under-privileged kids each summer. He and his wife, Mayra, have a daughter, Jessica, and a son, Jalon.

DAMIN LOPEZ ASSISTANT COACH • 2ND SEASON PEPPERDINE ‘94 Former Pepperdine standout Damin Lopez, who returned to Malibu to serve as an assistant coach on Tom Asbury’s staff, will be in his second season in 2009-10. This is Lopez’ first college coaching position. He was previously the associate head coach at perennial powerhouse St. Mary’s High School in Phoenix, Ariz., and also worked in private business. “I am very excited and thankful to Dr. Andrew Benton, Dr. John Watson and Coach Asbury for this wonderful opportunity,” said Lopez at his hiring in March 2008. “Having the chance to coach at the collegiate level is special, but to go back to my alma mater is indescribable. I am truly touched and looking forward to doing whatever I can to restore the Pepperdine tradition that so many are accustomed to experiencing.” While assisting his father David at St. Mary’s High School, the Lopez family developed the school into one of the premier programs in the state. St. Mary’s has sent several players to college and the pros, most notably Channing Frye (Arizona/Portland Trail Blazers) and Jerryd Bayless (Arizona/Portland Trail Blazers). In the 12 seasons that Damin was part of the St. Mary’s staff, the school won the state title in 2001 and was part of five Final Fours and nine Elite Eights while winning or sharing the Desert Valley Region title seven times. The school competes in the largest school classification (5A) despite having an enrollment of only 800. “I’m extremely pleased to have Damin join my staff,” said Asbury at Lopez’ hiring. “He comes from a basketball family and grew up with the game so he’s very knowledgeable. He has an excellent understanding of my system and the process of how we will do things. As a player he was an overachiever, and pound-for-pound he was the most fundamentally sound player I’ve ever coached. If he had been 6-foot-2, he would have played in the NBA for 15 years. Damin will do an excellent job for us.” Lopez spent five seasons (1990-94) at Pepperdine while Asbury was the head coach. Lopez was the starting point guard his final three years and still ranks second all-time in three-pointers made (239) and sixth all-time in assists (363) at Pepperdine. He was named to the All-WCC first team as a senior and was honorable mention as a sophomore. He also made the All-WCC Tournament team as a junior and senior. He played in four games during the 1989-90 season before breaking a hand and taking a medical redshirt year. The Waves went to the postseason each of the next four seasons with Lopez back in the lineup, including the NCAA Tournament in 1991, 1992 and 1994 and the NIT in 1993. The Waves won three WCC regular-season titles and three WCC Tournaments during his tenure. He graduated from Pepperdine in 1994 with a degree in business administration. He went on to have a brief stint in the Phoenix Suns’ rookie camp and with the Mexico City Aztecas of the Continental Basketball Association. Outside of basketball, Lopez has served as a partner in Julio César Chávez Enterprises, a commercial retail development firm, and was the president/managing partner of Grupo Ñ Advertising, a full-service advertising firm specializing in Hispanic marketing. Lopez played for his father at Apollo High School in Glendale, Ariz. As a 1998-89 senior he was named the Arizona Player of the Year by the Phoenix Gazette and the co-Player of the Year by the Arizona Republic after averaging 27.6 points. He currently resides in Calabasas with his daughter, Isabella Faith.

WILL KIMBLE ASSISTANT COACH • 2ND SEASON PEPPERDINE ‘04 Will Kimble, a standout post player earlier in the decade before returning to Pepperdine as an assistant coach, will be in his second season with the Waves in 2009-10. Prior to his return to Malibu, Kimble was an assistant coach at Citrus College, located in Glendora, Calif., for one season. He helped the Fighting Owls to a 35-1 record and its first-ever state junior college championship in 2007-08. “First of all I want to thank God, Dr. Andrew Benton, Dr. John Watson and Coach Asbury, as well as everybody in the athletic department at Pepperdine,” said Kimble at his hiring in April 2008. “It feels great to get back to the place where I began my college career, and I felt like this has always been my home. To have the opportunity to come back and contribute to this university, I’m just really, really honored. I take great pride in representing Pepperdine.” He began his coaching career in 2006-07 as the head varsity boys’ basketball coach at Bethel Temple High School in El Paso, Texas, and led the school to the Texas Christian Athletic League finals. “I’m ecstatic to have Will join our staff,” said Asbury at Kimble’s hiring. “He comes very highly recommended from many coaches that I’ve talked to. He’s another member of the Pepperdine family and I know that people around here will be excited to have him return.” Kimble began his college career at Pepperdine and played for the Waves for two seasons. The 6-foot-10 center averaged 1.8 points in 9.3 minutes as a 2000-01 freshman and 5.4 points in 15.7 minutes as a 2001-02 sophomore. The Waves made the NIT in 2001 and the NCAA Tournament in 2002. He appeared in one game in 2002-03, but was held out of further competition after it was discovered that he had a heart condition. Kimble continued at Pepperdine, staying on as a student assistant during the 2003-04 season, and graduated in 2004 with a bachelor’s degree in advertising. He moved on to Texas-El Paso, where doctors cleared him to return to the basketball court, and Kimble finished his playing career there. He averaged 4.5 points in 15.5 minutes as a 2004-05 junior and 4.9 points in 19.4 minutes as a 2005-06 senior. The Miners made the NCAA Tournament in 2005 and the NIT in 2006. He earned a master’s degree in education from UTEP in 2006. Kimble, a native of San Bernardino, Calif., attended Pacific High School.

PEPPERDINE HISTORY

PEPPERDINE BASKETBALL HISTORY

PEPPERDINE BASKETBALL HISTORY Since its infancy at the old Los Angeles campus at the corner of 79th and Vermont Streets, Pepperdine basketball has been characterized by excellence. The Waves have established a proud history of success during its 71 seasons of intercollegiate play, compiling a cumulative overall record of 1,111-910 (.550). Over the years, the Waves have made 26 postseason appearances (13 in the NCAA Tournament), captured at least a share of 16 conference titles, won three West Coast Conference Tournament titles and sent dozens of players into professional basketball. Pepperdine fielded its first-ever basketball team during the 193839 season. Head coach Wade Ruby’s squad posted an overall record of 16-13, defeating the likes of La Verne, Occidental and Whittier along with a collection of AAU and club teams. Al Duer assumed the head coaching chores the next year, and he directed the Pepperdine basketball program to tremendous heights. From 1940-48, Duer notched a nine-year record of 176-102 (.633) and six of his teams advanced to postseason play. In just the fourth season of the program’s existence, Pepperdine went to a national tournament for the first time but lost in their initial game at the 1942 NAIB Tournament in Kansas City, Mo. In 1944, Pepperdine competed in the NCAA Tournament for the first time, but lost to Iowa State and Missouri in games played in Kansas City, Mo. Pepperdine reached the championship game of the 32-team NAIB AL DUER Tournament in 1945, losing to Loyola-New Orleans by a final score of 49-36 in Kansas City, Mo. Duer eventually served as the executive director of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics from 1949-75, and was later inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 1982 for his outstanding contributions to the sport. Robert “Duck” Dowell assumed the head coaching chores prior to the 1948-49 campaign and served in that capacity for 20 seasons, compiling a career mark of 263-264 (.499). Dowell directed Pepperdine to four consecutive California Collegiate Athletic Association titles from 195053, and the Waves advanced to the NAIB Tournament in 1950, 1951 and 1952. Pepperdine joined the West Coast Conference in 1955-56 and the Waves still battle many long-time rivals, including Loyola Marymount, Saint Mary’s, San Francisco and Santa Clara. Dowell’s 196162 ballclub won the WCC regular-season championship for the first time and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for just the second time in school history. Led by All-WCC ROBERT “DUCK” DOWELL selections Harry Dinnel

and Bob Warlick, Pepperdine lost a narrow 69-67 decision to Oregon State before rebounding to defeat Utah State by a final score of 75-71 in games played at Smith Fieldhouse in Provo, Utah. Following Dowell’s retirement, Gary Colson assumed the head coaching duties in the summer of 1968. Colson completed his 11-year coaching tenure at Pepperdine with a record of 153-137 (.528). In the program’s early years, home games were played at a variety of places besides the venerable Campus Gym. For example, the team played at such historic sports venues as The Great Western Forum and the Los Angeles Sports Arena. Other “home” sites included Culver City Auditorium, El Segundo High School, Morningside High School and the Pan-Pacific Auditorium. But Pepperdine moved its campus to Malibu in 1972, and the change of location signaled the beginning of better fortunes for the Waves, as the attractive beachside setting helped attract quality recruits. Junior guard William “Bird” Averitt was the nation’s leading scorer during the 1972-73 season when he averaged 33.9 points a game. The All-American guard set a single-game Pepperdine scoring record on Jan. 6, 1973, when he tallied 57 points against Nevada. Averitt went on to play professional basketball with the Buffalo Braves, Kentucky Colonels, New Jersey Nets and San Antonio Spurs. Pepperdine basketball moved into its permanent home on Nov. 30, 1973, when the Waves played their first game at the 3,104-seat Firestone Fieldhouse in Malibu. Although Pepperdine lost that first game — to Pacific, by a score of 52-50 — the Waves have developed a decided homecourt advantage during the facility’s 36-year history. The Waves have compiled a cumulative record of 333-142 (.701) in games played at Firestone Fieldhouse, and won a school-record 30 consecutive home games from 1984-86. Paced by the play of All-WCC selections Dennis Johnson, Marcos Leite and Ollie Matson Jr., Pepperdine won the WCC championship in 1976 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1962. The Waves defeated Memphis by the final score of 8777 in a first-round game at the McKale Center in Tucson, Ariz., before losing GARY COLSON to UCLA at Pauley Pavilion by a 70-61 count. Johnson, who played at Pepperdine just one season, enjoyed a professional career with the Boston Celtics, Phoenix Suns and the Seattle SuperSonics. Regarded as one of the game’s all-time great defensive players, Johnson was named the Most Valuable Player at the 1979 NBA Finals. The Waves advanced to the NCAA Tournament again in 1979, slipping past Utah in a first-round contest by a 92-88 margin in overtime before losing to the Bruins at Pauley Pavilion by a final score of 76-71 in what was Colson’s final game as head coach. Jim Harrick took over the head coaching assignment and during his nine-year run, Pepperdine teams compiled a cumulative record of 16797 (.633) and advanced to postseason play six times. His Waves went on to the NCAA Tournament four times (1981, 1982, 1985 and 1986) plus earned berths to the National Invitation Tournament in 1980 and 1988. Pepperdine won or shared the league championship in 1981, 1982, 1983, 1985 and 1986. The Waves earned their lone NCAA Tournament victory under Harrick in 1982, defeating Pittsburgh in a first-round game at Friel Court in

2009-10 PEPPERDINE UNIVERSITY MEN’S BASKETBALL

PEPPERDINE BASKETBALL HISTORY

Pullman, Wash., by a final score of 99-88. Pepperdine was beaten in the second round by Oregon State, as the Beavers controlled the tempo of the game and posted a 70-51 victory. In what may be the most memorable NCAA Tournament game in Pepperdine history, the Waves lost a heartbreaking first-round decision in 1983 to North Carolina State at Gill Coliseum in Corvallis, Ore., by a final score of 69-67 in double overtime. Pepperdine led the Wolfpack by six points with a little more than one minute to play in regulation, but missed free throws cost the Waves, and North Carolina State began its dream run to the national championship. Pepperdine participated in the firstever preseason NIT in 1985, and the Waves lost a hard-fought 67-61 decision to Kansas at McNichols Arena in Denver. Led by two-time WCC Most JIM HARRICK Valuable Player Dwayne Polee, the Waves cruised to a 25-5 record in 1985-86, which ended with a 69-64 loss to Maryland in a first-round NCAA Tournament game at the Long Beach Arena. In 1988, Harrick was hired as the head coach at UCLA, and assistant Tom Asbury was elevated to direct the Waves. In six seasons at the helm, Asbury-led Pepperdine teams advanced to postseason play on five occasions and notched a cumulative record of 125-59 (.679). The Waves competed in the NCAA Tournament in 1991, 1992 and 1994, while the 1989 and 1993 squads advanced to the second round of the NIT. In 1994, Pepperdine battled a highly touted Michigan team on even terms before falling to the Wolverines by a final score of 78-74 in overtime in a first-round NCAA Tournament game at the Kansas Coliseum in Wichita, Kan. Under Asbury’s guidance, Pepperdine won regular-season WCC titles in 1991, 1992 and 1993, while the 1991, 1992 and 1994 teams captured the WCC Tournament crown. Pepperdine established a conference record by winning 32 consecutive TOM ASBURY games against league

opponents from 1991-93 (38 straight including conference tournament games). Swingman Doug Christie attracted dozens of NBA scouts to Firestone Fieldhouse and was a first-round draft pick by the Seattle SuperSonics in 1992. In a 15-year pro career, Christie played for seven NBA teams. Forward Dana Jones was a four-year starter for Asbury, and he is the only player in Pepperdine history to lead the team in four of the five primary stat categories during the same season, as he averaged 18.4 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 1.3 blocked shots a game as a senior during the 1993-94 campaign. After Asbury’s departure there were a few down years, but Lorenzo Romar rebuilt the Pepperdine program in the late 1990s. Romar’s 1997-98 team compiled a 17-10 record and was the second-most improved NCAA Division I program in the country. The Waves advanced to the NIT in 1999 — ending a four-year postseason drought — but lost a 65-61 decision to Colorado at the Coors Events Center in Boulder, Colo. Pepperdine entered the new century under the LORENZO ROMAR guidance of Jan van Breda Kolff. Utilizing a variety of pressure defenses, the Waves rolled to a 25-9 record in 1999-2000 — matching the modern-era single-season school record for wins. Pepperdine won its first WCC regular-season title since 1993. The Waves emerged as the Cinderella team of the 2000 NCAA Tournament after embarrassing Indiana by a final score of 77-57 at the HSBC Arena in Buffalo, N.Y., but Pepperdine lost a 75-67 second-round decision to Oklahoma State. Led by standout guard Brandon Armstrong, the Waves compiled a 22-9 record during the 2000-01 season. Pepperdine advanced to the NIT for the sixth time and posted a 72-69 first-round win at Wyoming before losing an 81-78 decision to New Mexico at The Pit in Albuquerque. Armstrong was the No. 23 pick overall by the Houston Rockets, and was subsequently traded to the New Jersey Nets. Former Phoenix Suns and Seattle SuperSonics head coach Paul Westphal was hired in April 2001 to succeed van Breda Kolff, who accepted a position at St. Bonaventure. Pepperdine rolled to a 22-9 record in his first season and tied nationally ranked Gonzaga for the WCC regular-season title. The Waves defeated the likes of Brigham Young, UCLA and USC to earn an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament. Pepperdine lost an 83-74 first-round decision to Wake Forest at Arco Arena in Sacramento, Calif. Unfortunately, that would be the only postseason appearance during Westphal’s five-year tenure, and he finished his time as head coach with an overall record of 76-72 (.514). PAUL WESTPHAL After two seasons with Vance Walberg at the helm, Asbury returned to Malibu prior to the 2008-09 season in order to bring some order to the program’s rocky recent history and help Pepperdine recapture its former glory.

NCAA TOURNAMENT TEAMS 1944 The NAIB Tournament (the precursor to the NAIA), which the Waves had taken part in in both 1942 and 1943, was cancelled in 1944 due to World War II. But after an excellent regular season that consisted largely of service and AAU opponents, the West Coast NCAA Committee chose Pepperdine to represent the eighth district at the national tournament. The Waves had played the strongest schedule among the region’s teams and were known as the “Giant Killers.” At the time, it was just an eightteam event, and so the Waves would travel to Kansas City for the Western Regional with Iowa State, Missouri and Utah. Unfortunately, Pepperdine lost its regional semifinal to Iowa State, 44-39, and also fell in the consolation game to Missouri, 61-46. All-American Nick Buzolich, a 6-foot7 sophomore center, scored 22 of Pepperdine’s 39 points against the Cyclones, then posted half (23) of the Waves’ 46 points against Missouri. Buzolich averaged 12.8 points per game. He would end up amassing 1,464 points for his career, a school record that stood for nearly 30 years. It would turn out to be the third of five straight postseason appearances by the Waves, who were coached by Alva “Al” O. Duer. He would later become the executive secretary of the NAIA and a inductee into the Basketball Hall of Fame. Pepperdine finished with a 20-14 record.

1962 Seven years after joining the West Coast Athletic Conference, Pepperdine won its first league title with an 11-1 mark and the ensuing spot in the 25team NCAA Tournament. The Waves received a first-round bye in the West Regional, held in Provo, Utah, and would end up facing Oregon State in the regional semifinal. The Beavers would eke out a two-point victory, 6967, despite a game-high 23 points from All-American Bob Warlick. In the consolation game, Pepperdine earned its first NCAA Tournament victory with a four-point win, 75-71, over Utah State. Tim Tift scored 22 points and Lee Tinsley added 19. Robert “Duck” Dowell, the all-time winningest coach in school history, had taken the Waves to three NAIB Tournaments early in his career but this would be his only NCAA Tournament appearance. He was named the conference’s coach of the year in 1962. Warlick led the senior-laden team with a 17.3 scoring average. Harry Dinnel was the WCAC’s co-Most Valuable Player.

2009-10 PEPPERDINE UNIVERSITY MEN’S BASKETBALL

PEPPERDINE BASKETBALL HISTORY

NCAA TOURNAMENT TEAMS 1976

Pepperdine made its first NCAA Tournament appearance under Gary Colson in 1976, and the first since the campus moved from South-Central Los Angeles to Malibu. The Waves went 22-6 overall and won the WCC with a 10-2 mark. In one memorable contest, a record 4,500 fans packed Firestone Fieldhouse to witness Pepperdine upset #3 UNLV, 93-91. In the postseason, Pepperdine was given a first-round rematch against Memphis State in Tucson, Ariz. Although the Tigers had won at home earlier in the season, the Waves prevailed 87-77 behind Marcos Leite’s 34 points. That put Pepperdine into a regional semifinal at Pauley Pavilion against UCLA, and the Bruins came away with a 70-61 victory. It was a one-point game midway through the second half and through the Waves stayed close, they were unable to pull ahead. Leite and Dennis Johnson scored 16 points apiece. Leite was both an All-American and the WCC’s Player of the Year, and he, Johnson and Ollie Matson made the All-WCC first team. Leite averaged a double-double for the season with 18.7 points and 10.0 rebounds. Johnson, in his only season at Pepperdine before turning pro, averaged 15.7 points.

1979 Gary Colson’s final season as head coach at Pepperdine resulted in another NCAA Tournament appearance for the school. Pepperdine went 22-10 and took second place in the WCC with a 10-2 record. Once again, the Waves were sent to Pauley Pavilion for West Regional play. Seeded ninth, the Waves took eighth-seeded Utah to overtime before eventually posting a 92-88 victory. At the end of regulation and trailing by two, Ollie Matson threw a length-of-the-court pass that was caught by Ted Scott, and Scott scored from three feet to send the game into overtime. Ricardo Brown scored 26 points to lead the Waves. Pepperdine ran into topseeded UCLA in the second round, however, and was edged 76-71. Brown scored 27 points to help keep things close. Brown, who led the team in scoring (19.5) and assists (5.7), made the All-WCC first team, while Matson (15.6 ppg, 8.9 rpg) was on the second team.

1982 Jim Harrick took Pepperdine back to the NCAA Tournament in just his third season as head coach. It would be the first of four appearances in the next five years under Harrick. Pepperdine was unbeaten in the WCC at 14-0 and was sent to Pullman, Wash., as the West Region’s #7 seed. The Waves shot 60 percent from the field in dispatching #10-seed Pittsburgh in the first round, 99-88. Orlando Phillips scored 27 points and Boot Bond added 24. The Waves’ run ended in the second round against Pac-10 champion Oregon State, seeded #2 and ranked #4 in the nation. The Beavers slowed down the tempo and pulled away for a 70-51 win. Phillips scored 16 points and Dane Suttle had 10. Pepperdine finished with a 22-7 overall record. Bond, who averaged a team-high 18.3 ppg and was in double-figures in every game but the finale, earned All-American honors and was one of three on the All-WCC first team along with Phillips (15.7 ppg, 8.7 rpg) and Suttle (16.8 ppg).

1983 Pepperdine earned back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances for the first time in school history in 1983. Jim Harrick’s Waves won the WCC again with a 10-2 record and went 20-9 overall. Pepperdine was sent to Corvallis, Ore., as the #11 seed in the West, and would face North Carolina State, the #6 seed, in the first round. The game was a classic, as the Wolfpack pulled out a 69-67 double-overtime victory. Pepperdine had its chances to put a stop right at the beginning to one of college basketball’s great Cinderella stories, as Jim Valvano’s squad would go on to one of the most unlikeliest NCAA title runs ever. Missed free throws cost the Waves, who might have had chances to wrap up the game a couple of times in regulation and overtime. They shot 13-for-28 (.464) from the stripe for the game. Bill Sadler scored 19 points and Dane Suttle had 16. Suttle and Orlando Phillips were the WCC’s co-Players of the Year. Suttle averaged 23.4 ppg, the third-best mark in program history. Phillips led the conference in rebounds (9.6) and blocks (1.7).

PEPPERDINE BASKETBALL HISTORY

NCAA TOURNAMENT TEAMS 1985

After a one-year absence, Pepperdine was back into the NCAA Tournament thanks to another first-place finish in the WCC. The Waves went 23-9 overall and 11-1 in league play. The reward was the #14 seed in the Midwest Regional and a trip to Houston, Texas, to face third-seeded Duke, and the result was a 75-62 loss. After a rough start that saw the Blue Devils take a 10-2 lead, Pepperdine settled down. The Waves trailed by just two a little more than four minutes into the second half, but Duke pulled away from there. The Waves’ Eric White scored a game-high 26 points. Dwayne Polee was the WCC’s Player of the Year, and White and Anthony Frederick also made the first team. Levy Middlebrooks was the WCC Freshman of the Year. White (15.9) and Polee (15.7) were two of five players that averaged double-figure scoring for the season, along with Jon Korfas (12.2), Anthony Frederick (11.8) and Middlebrooks (10.3). Jim Harrick was the WCC Coach of the Year.

1986 Jim Harrick’s Waves advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in five years, the best stretch in program history. The Waves went 25-5, good for a school-record winning percentage of .833, and won the WCC with a 13-1 mark. Pepperdine didn’t have to go far for the NCAA Tournament, as the #12-seeded Waves were sent to Long Beach to meet fifth-seeded Maryland. The two schools were tied 31-31 at halftime but the Terrapins eked out a five-point win, 69-64. Eric White and Grant Gondrezick scored 17 points apiece for the Waves. Ill-fated Maryland legend Len Bias, playing in one of his final games, led the Terps with 26 points. Dwayne Polee earned All-American honors for Pepperdine and was the WCC Player of the Year after averaging a team-high 15.7 points. White also made the All-WCC first team after posting 15.3 points per game. Gondrezick was also in double-figures with 13.3 points a game. Harrick was named the WCC’s co-Coach of the Year.

1991 Tom Asbury returned the Waves to the NCAA Tournament in his third season as head coach. His squad went 22-9 overall, won the WCC regularseason title with a 13-1 record and captured the program’s first WCC Tournament championship. The top-seeded Waves knocked off Portland and San Francisco before edging Saint Mary’s, 71-68 in overtime, in the final. Geoff Lear was the Tournament MVP, which included a 32-point, 14-rebound performance against the Gaels. The Waves were only awarded the #14 seed in the West Region, and had to take on third-seeded Seton Hall in Salt Lake City. The Pirates rolled to a 71-51 win behind future NBA standout Terry Dehere’s 26 points, while Lear scored 14. The Waves were without All-American Doug Christie, who missed much of the postseason with a knee injury. Christie averaged 19.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.8 assists and was the WCC Player of the Year. Lear also made the All-WCC first team after averaging 18.5 points and 9.8 rebounds. Jones was the WCC’s Freshman of the Year after averaging 10.0 points and 8.2 rebounds. Asbury won his first WCC Coach of the Year award.

1992 The Waves went unbeaten in the WCC for only the second time in school history at 14-0 and won their second straight WCC Tournament title to advance again to the NCAA Tournament. Pepperdine, which posted a 24-7 overall record, whipped Portland in the first round but had close calls against San Francisco (67-65) and Gonzaga (73-70). A healthy Doug Christie was named Tournament MVP, which included 26 points in the final against the Bulldogs. The Waves were sent to Milwaukee, Wis., and the Midwest Regional. As the #11 seed, they faced sixth-seeded Memphis and were beaten 80-70. Christie ended his fabulous career with a game-high 23 points, and Dana Jones added 13. Memphis and future NBA star Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway scored 21 points to lead the Tigers. Christie, who repeated as an All-American and the WCC Player of the Year, averaged 19.5 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.8 assists. Jones (11.4 ppg) and Geoff Lear (16.7 ppg) also made the All-WCC first team. Tom Asbury won his second straight WCC Coach of the Year honor.

PEPPERDINE BASKETBALL HISTORY

NCAA TOURNAMENT TEAMS 1994

After tying for second place during the WCC’s regular season, the Waves needed to win the WCC Tournament and did just that, taking home the title for the third time under Tom Asbury. Pepperdine went 19-11 overall and 8-6 in the WCC. The Waves walloped Saint Mary’s before posting three-point wins over San Francisco (82-79) and San Diego (56-53). Dana Jones was awarded Tournament MVP after averaging 22 points at the event. That set up one of the most memorable tournament games in program history, as Pepperdine was sent to Wichita, Kan., and the Midwest Regional as the #14 seed to meet third-seeded Michigan. Four of the Wolverine’s “Fab Five” were still around as juniors and the Waves gave them all they could handle before falling 78-74 in overtime. Pepperdine trailed by seven at halftime and 11 in the second half before roaring back and grabbing a two-point lead in the final minute. The Waves had the final shot of regulation but couldn’t convert. The Wolverines, led by Juwan Howard’s 28 points, scored all 10 of their points in overtime on free throws. Damin Lopez scored 21 points to lead Pepperdine. Jones (18.4 ppg, 9.7 rpg) and Lopez (14.7 ppg, 3.8 apg) were All-WCC first teamers.

2000 After a five-year absence from the tournament, Jan van Breda Kolff took the Waves to the next level in his first season as head coach. Building on a turnaround started by Lorenzo Romar, the Waves went 25-9 overall and won the WCC’s regular season with a 12-2 record. It was good enough to claim an at-large bid when Pepperdine lost in the WCC Tournament final to Gonzaga, 69-65 in overtime. The Waves were put in the East Regional for the first time in program history and had to travel cross-country to Buffalo, N.Y, as the #11 seed. The first-round matchup was extremely memorable, as the Waves pounded sixth-seeded Indiana, 77-57. It would turn out to be Bobby Knight’s last game coaching the Hoosiers. It was also Pepperdine’s first NCAA Tournament victory since 1982. Brandon Armstrong scored 22 points to lead Pepperdine and Nick Sheppard added 17. In the second round, Pepperdine lost to third-seeded Oklahoma State, 75-67. Armstrong had 19 points and Tezale Archie dished out 14 assists. All five starters earned All-WCC honors. Archie (9.6 ppg, 6.1 apg), Armstrong (14.4 ppg) and Kelvin Gibbs (9.0 ppg, 7.0 rpg) were on the first team, while Tommie Prince (9.7 ppg) and Sheppard (9.1 ppg) were honorable mention.

2002 After Jan van Breda Kolff’s brief stay, Paul Westphal inherited a very strong Waves team that went to the NCAA Tournament in his first season. Pepperdine posted a 22-9 record, shared the WCC regular-season title with Gonzaga and lost to the Bulldogs in the WCC final. Thanks to a strong non-conference schedule that included wins over UCLA and USC, that was enough to get Pepperdine into the tournament as the #10 seed in the Midwest Region. The Waves went north to Sacramento, Calif., to face seventh-seeded Wake Forest in the first round, and the Demon Deacons pulled away for an 83-74 win. Four Waves scored in double-figures: Devin Montgomery with 18, Boomer Brazzle with 15, Glen McGowan with 12 and Jimmy Miggins with 11. Brazzle (11.2 ppg) and Miggins (14.9 ppg) were All-WCC first team performers. Terrance Johnson (12.8 ppg) was the WCC Freshman of the Year and All-WCC honorable mention. McGowan (9.8 ppg) and Montgomery (11.7 ppg) were also named honorable mention. Cedric Suitt (3.2 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 3.1 bpg) was the WCC Defensive Player of the Year.

PEPPERDINE BASKETBALL HISTORY

“THE STREAK”

he West Coast Conference has provided some memorable moments in men’s basketball throughout its duration since it was created in 1952. San Francisco, Santa Clara and Saint Mary’s were three of the original five members (Pacific and San Jose State being the other two) that came together to form the California Basketball Association to play basketball in the Bay Area. Pepperdine and Loyola Marymount joined shortly thereafter in 1955, Portland in 1976, and Gonzaga and San Diego in 1979. It has been a league defined by its great players, coaches, teams and a few incredible winning streaks. But none better than the winning streak by the Pepperdine Waves from Jan. 12, 1991 to Jan. 29, 1993, which ran for 38 consecutive games against conference opponents (32 regular-season contests plus six WCC Tournament games). Before the Waves’ amazing run, the San Francisco Dons were the proud owners of a 31-game winning streak in conference play from 1954-57. Led by two-time All-American Bill Russell, K.C. Jones and Mike Farmer, the Dons dominated league play en route to back-to-back national championships in 1955 and 1956. Not only did San Francisco win 31 straight conference games, but they also won 51 straight regular-season games and 60 consecutive overall, including NCAA Tournament games from 1955-57. Incredibly, it would be another 36 years later before a team from Malibu would break the record. Those Pepperdine Waves were special. They didn’t possess a 6-foot-10 future NBA Hall of Famer patrolling the paint. What they did have were a group of great competitors who trusted in each other and had the uncanny ability to go on the road and defy all odds. The likes of Doug Christie, Geoff Lear, Dana Jones and Damin Lopez each possessed a ‘refuse to lose’ attitude that transcended to their teammates from one year to the next. “It was a team that had mental toughness and was so competitive,” Asbury said. “They executed better on the road than at home. They were such great competitors, very fierce. They made everyone else better.”

he streak began following a home loss to San Diego that began the conference season TOM ASBURY on Jan. 11, 1991. The very next night the Waves regrouped and defeated Santa Clara, 67-61, behind Christie’s 22 points. Any kind of winning streak would not only include great execution but some luck thrown in there — literally. On January 26 at Saint Mary’s, Lear scored 19 points but none more important than his 15 foot, offbalance, fading-toward-the-baseline shot at the buzzer that gave the Waves a thrilling 79-78 victory. The streak was only five games old. “We were good but had some luck along the way,” said Marty Wilson, an assistant coach then and now the associate head coach. “That shot could have easily bounced out.” But it didn’t. Six nights later and back at home, Pepperdine had to once again fight off the stubborn Gaels of Saint Mary’s with an exciting 82-78 doubleovertime win. Christie recorded a triple-double with 21 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds. It is believed to be the only triple-double in Waves history. Pepperdine (which won the WCC regular-season title, finishing 13-1 by winning 13 in a row) won its first two WCC Tournament games, leading up to a third meeting with Saint Mary’s for the tournament crown. Despite losing Christie to a knee injury in the opening round, the Waves would win their first-ever WCC Tournament championship and complete the trifecta over the Gaels with another exhilarating triumph, 71-68, in overtime. Lear scored 32 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, which earned him the MVP of the tournament. In 1991, Christie was named the WCC’s Player of the Year, Lear made his second All-WCC appearance and Jones was named the league’s

Freshman of the Year. Three heartbreaking losses for Saint Mary’s, while just one win over the Waves would have ended a streak that no one realized was just at its beginning. “It takes some luck to have a streak like this,” said Asbury, who won his first WCC Coach of the Year award that season.

But 1/15 * Gonzaga H W 67-66 what separates the good teams 1/16 * Portland H W 80-69 1/22 * San Francisco A W 71-66 from the great teams is the 1/23 * Saint Mary’s A W 54-46 ability to win away from home. 1/29 * Saint Mary’s H W 65-53 For the second consecutive 1/30 * San Francisco H L 72-75 * West Coast Conference game season, the Waves went 10-0 against conference opponents on the road or at a neutral site. “One key ingredient to the streak was that the team was ultracompetitive on the road,” Asbury added. “When we hit the mid-20s, we started thinking, ‘whew ... look at what we are doing here.’ We had a good balance of shooters, smart players and even better competitors. They were such a good road team in a really good era.” One impressive part of the streak that gets overlooked — with the exception of the coaching staff — was Pepperdine’s 27-game WCC road winning streak that began on March 3, 1990 and lasted until February 25, 1993. It included 21 road victories and six neutral-court contests at WCC Tournaments. “The team had an ‘everyone against us’ mentality on the road,” Wilson said. “We always told our players to treat it as a business trip. Take care of your business and we can go home. They knew what to do and they knew the plan. They challenged each other every day. Just some great people in the program. They became closer along the way.” Damin Lopez, the Waves’ assistant coach now and the starting point guard for much of the streak, agreed with Wilson’s thoughts. “The bond and the trust that DAMIN LOPEZ the team had in each other made it

2009-10 PEPPERDINE UNIVERSITY MEN’S BASKETBALL

PEPPERDINE BASKETBALL HISTORY

so much easier to go on the road. We had each others’ back,” Lopez said. “It was fun. Just watching the opponent and knowing and feeling that the tide was changing late in the game at the same time. With about five minutes left in each game, they knew, here we come. The opponents had a mental wall to overcome. You could see it in their eyes. We never lost our poise and our focus. We never lost our belief that we would win.” Lopez was the smallest player in the WCC at 5-foot-8 but had the heart and determination that stood out amongst all who challenged him or his teammates. DOUG CHRISTIE He was the point guard, an extension of his coach on the floor. Yet Lopez knew what a special team he was a part of and where he fit in. “I never felt that I had more responsibility than the seventh or eighth guy on the team,” said Lopez. “Everyone knew their roles and that’s why it was so unique. No one said to anyone else, ‘you need to do this ...’ We had huge trust in each other. Everything clicked in for a long period of time. The streak was high-pressure, intense and powerful in nature. Yet it was the most fun you could ever imagine.” The Waves rolled right along through their WCC schedule as the wins began to build up. With each win came more media exposure. “It was hard to keep it away,” Asbury stated. “It was such a big issue wherever we went and whenever we played.” In 1992, wins 28, 29, 30 and 31 came by 12 points or more. But in order to break the record of 31 straight, Pepperdine would have to beat the team that held the record, San Francisco, in the semifinals of the WCC Tournament in Portland, Ore. The game wouldn’t be easy by any stretch of the imagination. The Waves took a 29-28 lead into intermission. Trailing 65-63 with 29 seconds left, Jones made two free throws to tie the game. After a San Francisco turnover, the Waves had the ball for the final shot. Lopez was dribbling the ball and intended to take a desperation half-court shot for the win. Shockingly, a reach-in foul was called on USF with no time left. 0:00 on the clock, Lopez to the foul line for two shots. All that was needed was one make and the Waves would have the record. “Doug Christie came over to me and said, ‘These are yours, big guy,’ in his usual funny way,” Lopez remembered. “I stepped to the line and hit them. There was hardly any pressure because at worst we were GEOFF LEAR going to overtime.” No pressure? A chance to win a game with no time on the clock. A chance to move into the WCC’s championship game. A chance to break a 36-year-old record. No pressure? Apparently not. He made both free throws. “Damin was so fundamentally sound and mentally tough,” Asbury said. “He was a great foul shooter who was oblivious to pressure. He had great confidence and he understood the game through our eyes.” Pepperdine won 67-65 and cemented its place in WCC history. Lear scored 20, Jones had 16, Christie added 10 and Lopez chipped in eight. The record was theirs! The Waves extended it to 33 consecutive wins the next day with a 73-70 victory over Gonzaga in the WCC championship game. Christie was named the Tournament’s MVP after scoring 26 points, grabbing six rebounds, dishing out eight assists and collecting three steals. The Waves had their second consecutive WCC regular-season title and WCC tournament championship. They became the second team to go 14-0 in league and win the tournament title in the same season. Asbury

earned his second straight WCC Coach of the Year award while Christie won the WCC Player of the Year for the second consecutive time. Lear received his third All-WCC selection and Jones made his first All-WCC spot. Lopez was an honorable mention All-WCC pick.

Portland 3-11 9-18 Ironically, the very next day Loyola Marymount 2-12 7-20 (January 30) in Firestone Fieldhouse, the Waves had their streak snapped by the same team whose record they had broken: the San Francisco Dons, by a score of 75-72. Lopez was sidelined and did not play due to a broken hand. In the 10 games Lopez was out, the Waves went 7-3. He didn’t experience his next WCC loss in action until the defeat to Santa Clara and Steve Nash in the championship game. Lopez scored 20 points and made the All-Tournament team.

he streak was over in 1993 but the success continued for the Waves as they won another WCC Tournament title in 1994. Asbury left Pepperdine after the 1994 season, but returned prior to the 2008-09 season to bring back the glory to a proud program. It was a special time for all the players, coaches, staff and the entire Pepperdine community. The future hopes to be too. The numbers put up by Asbury’s earlier teams are just staggering: 38 consecutive wins, 27 straight road triumphs, 16 straight home victories, 42-1 over 43 games, 46-2 over 48 games, 49-3 over 52 games and 52-4 over 56 games. During the memorable three seasons, the Waves won three WCC regular-season titles, going a combined 38-4, and captured two WCC tournament championships, winning eight games and losing only DANA JONES to Santa Clara. Seventeen years later and “The Streak” is still the record today. Gonzaga came close in 2007 when the Bulldogs had a 30-game streak snapped at the hands of Saint Mary’s. The Zags currently own a 16-game WCC winning streak. Statistics and numbers commonly reflect the success of a team. But what will be remembered the most are not just the amount of consecutive wins but the tenacity, desire, hunger, passion and ultracompetitive nature that the Waves’ players and coaches possessed during one of the greatest eras in Pepperdine basketball history. Their character and competitive spirit will forever distinguish this team from the other great teams in WCC annals. “The camaraderie was special. The players were selfless to keep the streak going,” Wilson reminisced. “I’m still hungry to duplicate it.” — by Dick Dornan

Pepperdine basketball has utilized many home courts during its illustrious history. When Pepperdine was located in South-Central Los Angeles, the Waves played many games at the old Campus Gym. However, Pepperdine teams wandered all over the Los Angeles area seeking a home court during the 1960s and 1970s. For example, the team played at such historic sports venues as The Great Western Forum and the Los Angeles Sports Arena. Additionally, the Waves also played “home” games at the Culver City Auditorium, El Segundo High School, Morningside High School and the Pan-Pacific Auditorium. Pepperdine basketball moved into its permanent home on Nov. 30, 1973, when the Waves played their first game at Firestone Fieldhouse on the Malibu campus. Although Pepperdine lost that first game — to Pacific, by a score of 52-50 — the Waves have developed a decided homecourt advantage during the facility’s 36-year history. The intimate facility is an excellent place to view basketball and volleyball events from both courtside bleachers and upstairs theater seats. The listed capacity is 3,104, but attendance can climb closer to 5,000 for concerts, graduation ceremonies and lectures. Pepperdine owns a 36-year record of 333-142 (.701) at Firestone Fieldhouse.

Al Epstein, a veteran play-by-play sportscaster, returns for his 25th season as the “Voice of the Waves.” Epstein began his affiliation with the Pepperdine basketball program during the 1985-86 campaign when he provided color commentary. Epstein assumed the play-by-play chores the following season and is beginning his 24th campaign in that capacity. On December 13, 2008, he called his 700th consecutive game for the Waves. During Epstein’s tenure with the Pepperdine basketball program, the Waves have won 390 games and advanced to postseason play 11 times, including NCAA Tournament berths in 1986, 1991, 1992, 1994, 2000 and 2002, and National Invitation Tournament bids in 1988, 1989, 1993, 1999 and 2001. Epstein expanded his association with the university during the 1999-2000 campaign when he began broadcasting selected baseball, women’s basketball and men’s and women’s volleyball events. He also serves as the public address announcer at various activities. A sports enthusiast, Epstein has broadcast numerous collegiate sporting events, including UNLV football and UCLA baseball. Additionally, Epstein is currently broadcasting high school and community college football games, and is calling the play-by-play for polo during the summer months at Will Rogers State Park in Pacific Palisades. Epstein has announced high school baseball, basketball and football on numerous media outlets throughout Southern California. A former Associated Press West Coast Award winner for his work, Epstein co-authored Play-By-Play Sportscast Training, the first and only play-by-play text. The book is a complete fundamental text that includes instruction in areas such as play-by-play, color commentary, interviewing techniques and game preparation. The book has been distributed and marketed nationally by Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company. Epstein was named the 2003 recipient of the West Coast Conference’s Sam Goldman Media Award. The award is given annually to a member of the media whose coverage of collegiate athletics in general, and the WCC in particular, shows excellence. In 2004, Epstein started A/M Sports, a production and broadcast company that produces high school and college sporting events live on the Internet. A graduate of Beverly Hills (Calif.) High School, Epstein earned a bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism from Cal State Los Angeles. Epstein has been an instructor in announcing and sportscasting for nearly 20 years at the Columbia School of Broadcasting and has also been involved with the Sportscaster Camps of America. In January 2001, Epstein was inducted into the Southern California Jewish Sports Hall of Fame, recognizing his longtime commitment to broadcasting local collegiate and high school sports. During the summer of 2002, he was elected to the organization’s Board of Directors. A former Sports Information Director at nearby Santa Monica Community College, Epstein was a member of the famed “Temple City Kazoo Orchestra” which performed in the early 1980s and JOHN WATSON & AL EPSTEIN once opened for 700th CONSECUTIVE BROADCAST David Letterman at a local nightclub.

THIS IS

“What we hope to build is much more than a beautiful campus. It will, as you can sense, be that. But if that is all we shall have accomplished, we shall have failed. What we hope to create here, in these hills, is a spirit of place. A place where minds will be opened, where lives will be changed, where lasting relationships will be formed.” — Seaver College Dedication, May 23, 1970

PEPPERDINE

• Malibu is located right alongside the Pacific Ocean, just about 30 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Pepperdine’s picturesque campus is just a few hundred yards up the hill from Malibu Beach. The Malibu area, as well as all of Southern California, offers tremendous recreation, sporting and entertainment opportunities.

• Pepperdine’s motto is “Freely ye received, freely give” (Matt. 10:8).

• Pepperdine is an independent, medium-sized Christian institution committed to the highest standards of academic excellence and Christian values. • Approximately 8,000 students are enrolled in five colleges and schools, including Seaver College, the flagship undergraduate school of liberal arts and sciences. A bachelor’s degree is available in nearly 40 areas of study. • Pepperdine was ranked number 56 by the U.S. News and World Report’s list of America’s best colleges in 2009 (and is the only West Coast Conference school in the top 100). • Pepperdine was awarded the title of “Most Beautiful Campus” by the Princeton Review in 2005. • The student-to-faculty ratio is 13:1.

UNIVERSITY • Students and alumni consistently cite the quality, accessibility and caring nature of the faculty and staff as among Pepperdine’s major strengths. • There are 395 full-time teaching faculty, and 98% of full-time faculty have earned doctoral degrees. Students are provided with experiential opportunities, including research projects and internships so that their knowledge can be put to practice. • 75% of Pepperdine undergraduates receive some form of financial assistance. • Pepperdine University is respected both nationally and internationally. Students come to Pepperdine from all 50 states and more than 70 countries worldwide. Additionally, nearly 60% of Pepperdine’s undergraduate students study abroad at one point within one more than 20 international programs. • Pepperdine was recently voted as having the seventhbest study-abroad program in the nation by the Institute of International Education. Study-abroad programs include Heidelberg, Germany; London, England; Florence, Italy; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Lausanne, Switzerland; and Shanghai, China. • Among the 38 different majors offered, the top five at Seaver College are business administration, advertising, international studies, international business, psychology and political science. • The University was founded in 1937 by George Pepperdine, a Christian businessman who established the Western Auto Supply Company.

ATHLETIC

Pepperdine is classified as an NCAA Division I-AAA school (Division I schools that do not sponsor football), and the Waves are one of the very best of their kind. Since the I-AAA Athletic Director’s Association All-Sports Trophy was established, ranking the various schools on their postseason success, Pepperdine has finished in the top six every single time, including in first place twice (2004-05 and 2005-06). In the annual NACDA Director’s Cup standings, which measures overall postseason success, Pepperdine has finished first among all of its West Coast Conference rivals for 13 straight years.

Men’s Basketball

Jennifer Lacy

Over the years, the Pepperdine men’s basketball program has made 13 NCAA Tournament appearances, captured at least a share of 16 conference titles, won three West Coast Conference Tournament titles and sent dozens of players into professional basketball. Head coach Tom Asbury was one of the top coaches in the WCC’s history from 1989-94 and he has returned to Malibu to help the program thrive once again.

Baseball

The 1992 College World Series champions, Pepperdine baseball has recorded a remarkable 32 straight 30-win seasons. The Waves have advanced to the NCAA Championships 25 times, including five times under head coach Steve Rodriguez. Pepperdine has captured 17 regularseason WCC crowns and four WCC Championship Series titles. Twenty-nine alums have gone on to success in Major League Baseball. Dan Haren

Yakhouba Diawara

Women’s Basketball

With seven postseason appearances in the last 11 seasons, the Pepperdine women’s basketball team has developed into a consistent winner and a contender in the West Coast Conference. The Waves made their first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance in 2000 with an at-large bid, then captured the WCC Tournament title and subsequent NCAA appearances in 2002, 2003 and 2006, the most recent coming under head coach Julie Rousseau.

Cross Country / Track

Head coach Robert Radnoti has the goal of national prominence for his cross country and track programs. The Waves were extremely strong in these sports at their SouthCentral campus from the 1930s to the 1960s, with All-Americans and Olympians to their credit. However, the programs were dropped briefly when the university moved its campus to Malibu. The Waves have made great strides in cross country over the years and track was added again in the past few years.

Women’s Soccer

One of the youngest programs on Pepperdine’s campus, the women’s soccer team has quickly developed into among the strongest in recent years. Since its inaugural season in 1993, the Waves have posted 10-win seasons 10 times and made the NCAA Tournament five straight years from 2001-05. Head coach Tim Ward has helped his Waves reach the NCAA’s Sweet 16 on two occasions.

Anna Picarelli

SUCCESS Men’s Volleyball

Pepperdine’s most successful program has won five NCAA men’s volleyball championships, second-most of any school, with the last title coming in 2005. The program is synonymous with head coach Marv Dunphy, who was responsible for four of the titles and has also had a long association with USA Volleyball. Pepperdine has made the NCAA Championships event on 15 occasions, including six times in the past decade.

Jonathan Winder

Men’s Golf

The 1997 NCAA men’s golf champions and a regular at the top of the West Coast Conference’s leaderboard, Pepperdine competes with the nation’s best. The Waves have won 16 WCC titles since 1987 and have 11 straight NCAA regional appearances. Pepperdine won the NCAA title in John Geiberger’s first season and have posted two other top 10 national finishes.

Michael Putnam

Women’s Volleyball

Andre Begemann

For most of its history, the Pepperdine women’s volleyball program has boasted one of the nation’s top coaches in Nina Matthies, who took over in 1983. Since the West Coast Conference added women’s volleyball, the Waves have been the league’s dominant program with 10 titles. Since 1981, the Waves have made 20 trips to the NCAA Championships, including 11 in the last 12 years.

Men’s Tennis

No team has been more consistent then Pepperdine’s men’s tennis program, which wins the West Coast Conference title and makes the NCAA Tournament with amazing regularity. The Waves have won 40 WCC titles, including 19 in a row. Led by head coach Adam Steinberg, the Waves reached the pinnacle in 2006 and won the national championship.

Jesse Smith

Men’s Water Polo

Pepperdine was the host site of the 1984 Olympic water polo competition, so it should be no surprise that the Waves excel in the sport. Pepperdine has advanced to the NCAA Championships 12 times in its history and captured the national crown in 1997. Current coach Jack Kocur was a player on that title team. The Waves have won at least a share of conference titles nine times and have finished in the top 10 in the national rankings every year since 1976.

Katie Wilkins

Women’s Golf

In the last 16 seasons since Laurie Gibbs became head coach, the Pepperdine women’s golf program has developed into a national championship contender. The Waves have won 11 WCC titles, been to 11 straight NCAA Regional tournaments and have made nine NCAA Championships appearances. The Waves finished second in the nation in 2003 and boast four top-five finishes.

Katherine Hull

Sylvia Kosakowski

Women’s Tennis

No coach has been on staff at Pepperdine for more consecutive years than Gualberto Escudero, who took over as women’s tennis head coach in 1977-78. His tenure has featured WCC titles (21, including seven in a row), NCAA Tournament appearances (26, with 12 in a row) and top 25 finishes (including eight times in the nation’s top 10). Lindsay Adarme

Women’s Swimming & Diving

For more than 20 years, Pepperdine has thrived in the Pacific Collegiate Swimming & Diving Conference. The Waves have had nine consecutive topfive finishes under head coach Nick Rodionoff, including a program-best-tying secondplace finish in 2008. Ten of Pepperdine’s 20 record times have come under Rodionoff’s watch.

The fact that Pepperdine has won NCAA championships in five different men’s sports is a rare feat, as the Waves are one of only 14 schools to accomplish this. Making it even more noteworthy is that Pepperdine is the only non-BCS school and is by far the smallest. Following are the 14 schools with their enrollment figures. Arizona State (63,278) California (33,000) Indiana (38,247) Michigan (38,006) Michigan State (45,520) Minnesota (50,042) Ohio State (50,504) Oklahoma State (32,721) Penn State (42,294) Pepperdine (8,000) Stanford (14,890) UCLA (36,890) USC (33,000) Wisconsin (41,466) Additional national championships have been won by the now-defunct football squad (1947 small college), men’s tennis (1952 NAIA), Jerome Jones and Kelly Jones (1984 NCAA Tennis Doubles Tournament), Carlos DiLaura and Kelly Jones (1985 NCAA Tennis Doubles Tournament) and Robbie Weiss (1988 NCAA Tennis Singles Tournament).

COMMUNITY

Pepperdine University’s goal is to “strengthen lives for purpose, service and leadership” and the Pepperdine Athletics Department is a strong believer in helping its student-athletes to meet this goal. The school’s athletic teams embrace the concept of volunteerism and service to the community. Teams are regularly taking on projects that will better the lives of others. Step Forward is an annual day held each fall that is devoted to community service, when more than a thousand Pepperdine students, staff, faculty and alumni will disperse throughout Southern California in order to lend a hand to those in need. Pepperdine’s athletic teams have been front and center as part of this event, as well as other service opportunities year-round.

LIFE SKILLS/SAAC The Pepperdine University Athletics Department is committed to a program of life skills that provides educational experiences and services in order to develop well-balanced life styles for student-athletes; to encourage growth in decision making, planning and fulfillment of career and life goals; and to enhance the quality of the student-athlete experience within the university setting. The program is required for every incoming freshman and transfer student-athlete. Nationally recognized speakers and a life skills class are part of the program. Topics are chosen to support the following commitment purpose statements: • Commitment to Academic Excellence — To support the academic progress of the student-athlete toward intellectual development and graduation. • Commitment to Athletics Excellence — To build philosophical foundations for the development of athletics programs that are broad-based, equitable and dedicated to the well-being of the student athlete.

• Commitment to Personal Development — To support the development of a well-balanced lifestyle for studentathletes, encouraging emotional well-being, personal growth and decision making skills. • Commitment to Service — To engage the studentathlete in service to his/her campus and surrounding communities. • Commitment to Career Development — To encourage the student-athlete to develop and pursue career and life goals. The Student Athletic Advisory Committee (SAAC) is comprised of two student leaders from each athletic team at Pepperdine. National SAACs at a glance: • Generate a student-athlete voice within the NCAA structure. • Solicit student-athlete response to proposed NCAA legislation. • Recommend potential NCAA legislation. • Review, react and comment to the governance structure on legislation, activities and subjects of interest. • Actively participate in the administrative process of athletics programs and the NCAA. • Promote a positive student-athlete image.

WCC

When the West Coast Conference first got its start back in 1952, the founders really had only one goal in mind — to create a convenient way for five Bay Area schools to play basketball. What has grown from that original vision some 57 years ago is a marvelously cohesive athletics league that is competitive at a national level in 13 sports. The eight current members of the WCC span the western coast of the United States from Canada to Mexico. Though the institutions range from the pine forests of Eastern Washington to the sun-drenched beaches of Southern California, the combined excellence in academics and athletics sets the conference apart on the national scene and draws the individual institutions together in a common mission. The WCC sponsors championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf, women’s rowing, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s tennis and women’s volleyball. Originally chartered as the California Basketball Association, the five-team league included Pacific, Saint Mary’s, San Francisco, San Jose State and Santa Clara, and the firstever men’s basketball game was played January 2, 1953. After three seasons of play under that name, the conference expanded to include Loyola Marymount and Pepperdine in 1955, and became known as the West Coast Athletic Conference in 1956. The name was shortened in 1989. The current alignment of Gonzaga University, Loyola Marymount University, Pepperdine University, University of Portland, Saint Mary’s College, University of San Diego, University of San Francisco and Santa Clara University has remained unchanged since 1979, making the WCC the third-most stable athletic conference in the nation. Only the Ivy League and the Pacific-10 Conference have been together longer. Women’s sports were incorporated into the WCC prior to the 1985-86 season, and the league has made steady improvements in several sports, particularly basketball, soccer and volleyball. Since joining the WCC prior to the 1955-56 season, Pepperdine has claimed 129 WCC regular-season team championships in the following sports: baseball (17), men’s basketball (12), women’s basketball (4), men’s golf (16), women’s golf (11), women’s soccer (1), men’s tennis (40), women’s tennis (21) and women’s volleyball (10). Additionally, the men’s and women’s basketball team have each won the league’s postseason tournament three times. The baseball team has won the WCC Championship Series four times. The league relocated its headquarters in the summer of 1998 to San Bruno near the San Francisco International Airport. The WCC hired Jamie Zaninovich as its commissioner in March 2008.

MPSF

The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation was established during the 1992-93 academic year to serve the competitive needs of member institutions from the Big West, Pacific-10, Mountain West, Western Athletic and West Coast Conferences and other selected universities in the western United States; and to provide championship competition for Division I intercollegiate Olympic sports in a conference setting. The MPSF was originally formed to provide enhanced competition and championship opportunities for sports without conference affiliation; to contain the costs of competition; and to ensure the survival of sports impacted by Title IX and other fiscal pressures. The Federation has served as an incubator for emerging women’s sports and as a safe harbor for sports impacted by conference realignments. In men’s volleyball, the Waves have won five regular season and four tournament titles. Pepperdine competes against BYU, Cal State Northridge, Hawaii, Long Beach State, Pacific, Stanford, UC Irvine, UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara and USC. MPSF schools have won 14 of the 17 NCAA men’s volleyball championships since the conference was created (including one by Pepperdine). In men’s water polo, the Waves have won two regular-season crowns. Pepperdine competes against California, Long Beach State, Pacific, Stanford, UC Irvine, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara and USC. MPSF schools have won all 17 NCAA men’s water polo championships since the conference was created (including one by Pepperdine).
