Coach Paul Westphal's squad had a terrible showing in the 2002-03
season, but the Waves rebounded last year and were able to finish
with nine wins in conference play. However, a lack of defensive
stopping power and rebounding efficiency still plagued Pepperdine,
which is 52-38 in three seasons under Westphal. The former NBA coach
needs to address the defensive and rebounding issues this season,
but his offense should still be one of the most potent in the WCC,
led by forward Yakhouba Diawara. The 6-7 senior missed 17 of the
team's 31 games last year, but was able to lead the Waves in both
scoring (18.9 ppg) and rebounding (6.6 rpg). He shot an impressive
50.9 percent from the field and also showed a shooting touch from
behind the arc (.481). Fellow forward Glen McGowan is also back
for his senior season and should improve on his 17.8 ppg and 5.4
rpg from a year ago. McGowan earned all-conference honors last season,
but he still needs to work on his long range shooting (.299). Guard
Alex Acker on the other hand was solid from behind the arc (.368)
and also was an above-average scorer (13.6 ppg), rebounder (5.3
rpg) and passer (3.8 apg). Acker and the Waves have an excellent
chance at coming away with the WCC title if the Bulldogs stumble
this season and they actually learn to play defense.
