If the oddsmakers' predictions hold true, the near future looks bright for Northwestern. They will stay at home for another game and welcome the Pepperdine Waves at 8:00 p.m. ET on Friday at Welsh-Ryan Arena. The Wildcats are strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 75.6 points per game this season.

Northwestern is headed into the match having just posted their closest victory since January 17th on Tuesday. They narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past Montana State 72-69.

Northwestern can attribute much of their success to Brooks Barnhizer, who dropped a double-double on 20 points and ten rebounds, and Nick Martinelli, who posted 22 points along with seven rebounds and three steals. What's more, Barnhizer also racked up three offensive rebounds, the most he's had since back in February.

Meanwhile, Pepperdine's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Wednesday after their third straight loss. They found themselves the reluctant recipients of an 80-59 punch to the gut against UNLV. The Waves were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 46-17.

The losing side was boosted by Stefan Todorovic, who earned 19 points along with six rebounds and three steals. He had some trouble finding his footing against UC Irvine on Saturday, so this was a nice turnaround.
