ANALYSIS:
Despite having one of the better win percentages in Division I, Grand Canyon doesn't quite make it into our list of college basketball's best 25 teams. They have a record of 30-5 and are ranked 58th overall (out of 362) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the best team (out of 11) in the WAC (average ranking 186.5).

Grand Canyon will mainly try to find success through their defense. They are ranked 44th in defensive efficiency and allow fewer than 98 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Grand Canyon does tremendous work shutting down the opposition from the inside. They are ranked eighth in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 50.1% of their attempts from close-up. And to capitalize on that weakness, this team will make AO shoot from the inside more than they usually would. Of AO's total field goals, a big portion of them (41.9%) will be from short-distance. Grand Canyon has also had some success this season preventing opponents from converting many of their overall field goal attempts. The team ranks #53 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO only makes good on about 41.3% of their total attempts from the floor.

Grand Canyon plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 82nd nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 111 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Grand Canyon does a super job in their efforts to get to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 34.15 vs. AO, they are ranked fifth in the nation at getting to the charity stripe. In addition, the team is in the top-75 in free throw shooting, converting a solid 74.8% of their attempts. Grand Canyon also does an outstanding job finishing any scoring chances they obtain from offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 7.7% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 17th nationally), and with a rating of 17.18, they're 28th in potential points scored off of the offensive glass as well.

Grand Canyon has been playing better basketball in their most recent outings, as evidenced by the team's #44 ranking in positive momentum. Grand Canyon is also one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked 19th in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict.
