UC Davis vs Grand Canyon Prediction

I’ll probably just stay with the Grand Canyon. However, the Antelopes had a poor second half versus Arizona State, and they need a good bounce-back here. Grand Canyon posted a decent 44.1 percent shooting with a 30-27 rebound edge (11-5 offense) in that loss, but had 15 turnovers while allowing 53.7 percent shooting on the other end.

As for UC Davis, they were outmuscled on the boards 45-30 (16-3 offense) and had 14 turnovers in their most recent loss to Stanford. The Aggies should shoot pretty well here, but if the Antelopes can run the boards, Grand Canyon should be able to shut down a home cover.
