The Grand Canyon Antelopes and the Nevada Wolf Pack meet in college basketball action from the Lawlor Events Center on Saturday afternoon.
The Grand Canyon Antelopes will look to build on their 2-0 start to the year after a 101-50 win over San Diego Christian last time out. Jovan Blacksher Jr. led the Antelopes with 16 points on 6 of 8 shooting with a pair of threes while Gabe McGlothan added 13 points with a team-high 10 rebounds for the double-double. Kobe Knox added 11 points on 5 of 5 shooting from the field while Josh Baker had 10 points with a team-high 4 assists and Walter Ellis added 10 points with 7 rebounds to round out the scoring in double figures for Grand Canyon in the win.
The Nevada Wolf Pack will be out to build on their 84-71 win over Utah Tech last time out. Jarod Lucas led the way with 17 points while Darrion Williams added 15 points on 5 of 7 shooting with 3 threes and a team-high 9 rebounds with 3 assists. Will Baker added 13 points on 6 of 9 shooting with 3 steals while Nick Davidson added 11 points on 4 of 6 shooting to cap off the scoring in double figures for Nevada in the win. Kenan Blackshear added 9 points with a team-high 7 assists and 4 steals as well in the victory for the Wolf Pack.
Grand Canyon is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Saturday games while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600. Nevada is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Saturday games while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 home games.
I get the case to be made either way here, but I’m looking at the under. Nevada had a nice showing against Utah Tech, but the Wolf Pack still have a ways to go before I start believing in them long term. Grand Canyon has a ton of talent but find a way to drag teams into a low-scoring war and I think that’s what we have here. I could easily see this one finishing 61-58 whichever way you have it going so give me the under here.
