Utah Tech vs. Grand Canyon Prediction

I’m on Grand Canyon here. The Lopes are the team to beat in the WAC and I just don’t see Utah Tech having what it takes to hang around in this matchup for a full 40 minutes. The Trailblazers have lost by more against less this season and Grand Canyon’s had a way of just burying opponents left and right this season and I see this being no different. Give me Grand Canyon big here.
