Analysis
Grand Canyon enters Saturday’s non-conference matchup against Coastal Carolina with all the momentum and matchup advantages needed to deliver a blowout victory. The Antelopes have established themselves as one of the premier mid-majors in the country, combining size, athleticism, and defensive intensity with a balanced scoring attack. Their frontcourt, anchored by Tyon Grant-Foster and a rotation of versatile bigs, consistently overwhelms opponents on the glass and in the paint. Offensively, GCU thrives on pace and spacing, with multiple shooters stretching defenses and guards who can penetrate and finish. Against a Coastal Carolina squad that has struggled to defend the perimeter and lacks the depth to withstand prolonged runs, Grand Canyon’s ability to score in waves should quickly tilt the game out of reach. Coastal Carolina, while capable of competing in spurts, has been inconsistent on both ends of the floor and faces a steep uphill battle against GCU’s physicality. The Chanticleers’ reliance on streaky outside shooting makes them vulnerable against a disciplined Lopes defense that closes out hard and forces contested looks. Once Grand Canyon establishes control of tempo and begins to dominate the boards, Coastal’s offense is likely to stall, creating opportunities for GCU to extend the margin. With superior talent, depth, and defensive structure, Grand Canyon is positioned to dictate every aspect of this contest. Expect the Antelopes to seize control early, build separation through relentless rebounding and transition scoring, and cruise to a decisive win. Final Angle: Grand Canyon rolls past Coastal Carolina in a blowout. Jim's Play : 712. Grand Canyon
