ANALYSIS: Grand Canyon is a fairly decent basketball team that, while likely better than average, isn't quite good enough to crack any top-25 rankings this year. They are ranked #98 (out of 364) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 26-8. Of the nine schools in the WAC (average ranking 223.2), they're currently ranked as the best team in the conference.
The primary strength for Grand Canyon is defense. The team is ranked 73rd in efficiency, allowing fewer than 102 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Grand Canyon has done a really good job this year to prevent opponents from making shots from the inside. They are ranked 42nd in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 54.4% of their attempts from close-up. Grand Canyon will also look to secure a relatively healthy number of easy scoring opportunities off of steals. They're ranked 72nd in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 14.20.
Grand Canyon is also a fairly decent team on the offensive end of the court. The team ranks 141st nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 110 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Grand Canyon will routinely look to penetrate, pound the ball inside, and score from as short a distance as possible. The ball-club is 13th in the NCAA in ratio of near-proximity attempts to total field goal attempts. As far as converting those near-proximity shots goes, the team shoots 59.2% vs. AO, which falls somewhere in the middle of the pack of the rankings in that category. Grand Canyon also does a really good job to acquire opportunities from the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 32.28 vs. AO, they are ranked 31st in the nation at getting to the charity stripe, where the team shoots a rather mediocre 73.6%. If Grand Canyon does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's ability (or lack thereof) to sink threes. The squad converts just 30.8% of their three-point attempts vs. AO, which ranks 40th-worst in the nation.
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location. Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.
