OUTLOOK First round: Lost to Virginia, 74-62
Despite getting upset by San Diego 68-51 in the WCC final, the Waves got the nod for their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Rasheeda Clark leads the way, averaging 15.5 points. Although Pepperdine posted wins over Santa Clara, St. Mary's, this also is the team that suffered a 101-58 rout by Connecticut on Nov. 28. First stay might be a short one, especially against ACC regular-season champ Virginia in the first round.
