ANDREW’S FREE GRAND CANYON VS TARLETON STATE PREDICTION

I’ll stick with Grand Canyon. You cold probably call this one either way, though. The Antelopes had a close game versus a middling Cal Baptist team in their last outing, hitting 48.1 percent from the field with 35 rebounds and 15 team assists. That makes 73 or more points in five straight games for the Lopes.

These teams last saw each other back on January 13 in a 74-48 blowout victory at home for Grand Canyon. The Antelopes shot a nice 50.9 percent from the field in that one and owned the rebounding 47-28. Tarleton State has been playing pretty well lately however, and I like them to be competitive in the home rematch. Ultimately I like the Antelopes to pull out the cover, but it should be tight.
