William “Bird” Averitt, a Pepperdine basketball great, will be inducted into the WCC (West Coast Conference) Hall of Fame on March 4 in Las Vegas.
“We’re thrilled that one of the greatest players in Pepperdine and West Coast Conference history will be joining us in Las Vegas at the WCC Basketball Championships for his much-deserved induction into the WCC Hall of Honor,” Assistant Athletic Director of Communications Roger Horne said, “Nobody scored points like Bird Averitt did for two seasons in the early 1970s. It’s hard to imagine that any of his Pepperdine records will ever be broken, and he holds a lot of them.
