PICK: I’m going to stay with Grand Canyon. The Antelopes had trouble with a pretty good Stephen F. Austin team in their last outing, but overall they’ve played pretty well lately. Grand Canyon has scored 68 or more points in five straight games, going 4-1 during that stretch. As for TX-Arlington, they stayed with Seattle reasonably well in the first half on Saturday but eventually fell behind. The Mavericks have 64 points or fewer in five straight games and I don’t see them keeping a cover pace here.
