With the clock ticking toward two minutes remaining in Saturday’s game, Pepperdine trailed UC Irvine 73-64.
The energy in Firestone Fieldhouse seemed deflated, as the Waves appeared bound for an 0-2 start to their season.
In a 20-second span, the tables turned, as the sophomore forward Kessler Edwards and junior guard Colbey Ross connected on three-pointers to bring Pepperdine within three.
“At the end, we were able to hit a couple big shots, create some turnovers and come up with the victory,” Head Coach Lorenzo Romar said.
