    2015-16 Pepperdine Basketball Replay Recap

    Fifty-four simulations are in the books, and the Waves fared well in each of the three, going a combined 34-20 (.630). Pepperdine went 10-8 in the WCC regular season that year, and the Waves did better in two of the three sims, and matched the 10-8 record in the other one. A full comparison of…

    The regular season saw a dramatic finish in two of the three simulations, just like it did in real life. But, while the Waves lost at LMU in overtime in reality, here Pepperdine swept all three PCH Cup sims. The Waves finished the 18-game schedule better than real life in two of the three sims,…

    Just like in real life, Senior Night (the home finale) was a successful venture, as the Waves beat Santa Clara in all three simulations. One game remains in the regular season. Pepperdine is assured of finishing with a better record in one sim and can make it two, while the third sim needs a win…

    The Waves suffered a disappointing home loss to the Dons in real life (albeit with a historic moment as Stacy Davis broke the school career scoring record, which had stood for 33 years). The simulations broke Pepperdine’s way in two of the three contests. With two games remaining, the Waves are assured of a better…

    Pepperdine managed to sweep all three simulations after posting a real-life victory for only the fourth time in this project, though it wasn’t easy. Like the real game at Pacific, which was decided by two points in overtime, the Waves won two of the sims by margins of one and three points, while the other…

    The Waves pulled off one their unlikeliest road victories during this time period, beating the Gaels by six (a loss that greatly contributed to SMC missing the NCAA Tournament, as the Waves swept the regular-season series). The simulations were not so kind to Pepperdine, as the Gaels won a couple of close games and another…

    This was loss number 31 in a row by the Waves against the Bulldogs, a streak that has now run to 45 consecutive losses as of this replay. The three-point loss in reality has been one of just a handful games decided by a basket or two. But in this simulation, in one glorious alternate…

    In real life, the Pilots went into Firestone Fieldhouse and earned a season sweep of the Waves. They accomplished that in the CB2K game as well, matching the three-point win. Pepperdine won the two computer games by one mid-sized margin and one blowout. The WCC season is now two-thirds complete and the Waves’ record is…

    I did see the Waves win once in Provo. But it wasn’t this year, either in reality or in the simulations. Pepperdine lost by 11 in real life, and got blown out in two sims while keeping it close in one. The Cougars’ Chase Fischer was unstoppable, scoring 30, 16 and 20. Box Scores Real:…
