ANALYSIS:
They may not cause sleepless nights for opponents, but Grand Canyon, as a slightly above-average team, cannot be totally ignored. They have a record of 23-8 and are ranked 92nd overall (out of 358) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #2 team (out of 13) in the WAC (average ranking 191.8).

Grand Canyon will mainly try to find success through their defense. They are ranked 52nd in defensive efficiency and allow fewer than 95 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Grand Canyon will take a bite out of many opponents' shooting percentages, based on the fact that the team ranks in the top-50 in three of our four primary defensive field goal categories. They allow AO to convert only 28.0% of their three-pointers (sixth in the nation), 53.7% of their near-proximity attempts (37th), and 40.0% of their total shots from the field (42nd).

Grand Canyon is also a fairly decent team on the offensive end of the court. The team ranks 108th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 105 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Grand Canyon appears to be one of the top-notch offensive rebounding teams you will find this year. Against AO, the squad has a rating of 17.54 in potential points scored off of second chances (ranked 16th in the NCAA), and they convert 6.4% of their second-chance opportunities (ranked 41st) as well. Grand Canyon also has one of the better squads in the college game when it comes to maximizing opportunities to score. The team is ranked 30th in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 88.28 vs. AO. As far as making those field goal attempts goes, the team is somewhat middle-of-the-road, converting about 43.2% of them vs. AO.

On the road, Grand Canyon performs noticeably worse than they do at home. The team is currently ranked 344th in the country in the away-from-home metric we track.
