ANALYSIS:
They may not cause sleepless nights for opponents, but Grand Canyon, as a slightly above-average team, cannot be totally ignored. Their record this season is 22-9, and the club is ranked 164th overall (out of 351) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #3 team (out of eight) in the WAC (average ranking 208.0).

Grand Canyon has a fairly effective defensive attack. Occupying the #94 slot in our defensive efficiency ratings, they will allow about 98 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Grand Canyon does a pretty solid job providing themselves chances to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked 29th in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 13.75.

The offense for Grand Canyon, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the defense is. The team is ranked 216th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 98 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Grand Canyon is not one of the better teams when it comes to sinking foul shots. Converting just 65.9% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #304 overall in free throw percentage.

Grand Canyon has been playing some of its most efficient basketball of the season recently and is presently ranked 15th in positive momentum.
