Waves Weekend 2024 was electric.

From Oct. 4 through Oct. 6, over 1,800 Pepperdine Waves, family and friends showed up for the weekend.

In a jam-packed Firestone Fieldhouse on Oct. 4, the first night ended with the annual Blue and Orange Madness rally to kickstart the basketball seasons for the Waves. Men’s Basketball Head Coach Ed Schilling and Women’s Basketball Head Coach Katie Faulkner made appearances to the student body for the first time following their hires this past spring.

Both basketball teams competed in a series of competitions, like knockout and a challenge called “Shooting Stars,” which involved both teams facing off to see who could make a layup, free-throw, three-pointer and half-court shot the quickest.
