Arizona State vs Grand Canyon Prediction
I’m on the Antelopes here. I think this is a really talented Arizona State team that could surprise some folks this season, but Grand Canyon is a perennial mid-major threat, year after year, and that isn’t limited to the NCAA tournament. We’re also talking about the regular season. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen Bobby Hurley coach his team out of a win, and I think that could very well happen again. Give me the Antelopes.
