(San Francisco) – San Francisco rolled to its second straight West Coast Conference win with a 78-63 result against Pepperdine Saturday afternoon at War Memorial Gym. The Dons (12-8, 2-4 WCC) got another balanced effort and avenged an earlier loss to the Waves (7-10, 1-5 WCC).
After shooting at a blistering .672 clip in a 104-70 win against Portland on Thursday, San Francisco cooled slightly, converting on .551 (27-49) from the field, including a .600 (15-25) pace after the break. The Waves shot .429 (21-49) for the game but USF put the clamps down in the second half limiting Pepperdine to just .357 (10-28) in the final 20 minutes.
Junior guard Michael Williams scored a team-high 17 points – 15 after the intermission – to lead led an efficient Dons offense, which had five players reach double-digit scoring.
San Francisco dominated in the paint and outscored the Waves 38-16 down low. Junior forward Perris Blackwell added 15 points on 6-of-8 from the field, while sophomore forward Cole Dickerson added 12 points and five rebounds off the bench for USF.
Senior guard Rashad Green chipped in 11 points and seven rebounds while sophomore guard Dominique O'Comnnor had 10 points. Senior forward Angelo Caloiaro paced the Green and Gold with a game-high 10 rebounds. USF won the battle of the boards 33-26.
Freshman guard Jordan Baker paced Pepperdine with a game-high 26 points on 10-of-17 from the field. No other Wave reached double-digit scoring.
San Francisco returns to action when it travels to the Pacific Northwest to take on defending WCC Champion Gonzaga Thursday, January 19. Tip-off against the Bulldogs is set for 7:00 PM in a game televised nationally by ESPNU and carried on 95.7 The GAME.
