Grand Canyon vs. Louisiana Tech Prediction
I’m with Grand Canyon here. I like what I’ve seen from Grand Canyon for the most part and I’m not going to hold any of their losses against them, against teams like Arizona State and Georgia. LA Tech hasn’t really been tested much this season and let’s not forget that Grand Canyon was an NCAA tournament team last year. Give me Grand Canyon in this one.
