Grand Canyon swept the regular-season meetings, winning by seven and six, but I see this one being tighter. The Mavericks have won eight straight behind a lethal offense. In those losses to the Lopes, the Mavericks only got 38 free-throw attempts compared to 72 for Grand Canyon.

The better team, Grand Canyon, owns the superior defense. The Antelopes yield 64.3 points per game and held the Mavericks to 69 and 61 in their regular season clashes. In two recent WAC championship games, the 'Lopes held their opponents to 66 and 56 points. If those trends continue and Arlington winds up in the 60s, G.C. might need to reach the 80s for an Over. That's well above its average.
