Utah Tech Trailblazers vs. Grand Canyon Antelopes Key Stats

Utah Tech have hit a rough patch, and their defense has been awful, especially against conference opponents. On the year, the Trailblazers have let opponents shoot 46.2% from the field, and they'll need to buckle down on that end tonight.

Offensively, Utah Tech is led by senior Cameron Gooden, who averages 15.6 points and 3.9 assists. Gooden has had a solid career with the Trailblazers, but he's missed the last four games and could miss tonight's contest as well. If he can't play, the visitors will be at a pretty big disadvantage.

Grand Canyon are averaging 107.8 points per 100 possessions, and overall they've fared a lot better at home. Defensively, they've been great, holding opponents to just 92.4 points per 100 possessions and 38.5% shooting. Their best players this year have been Rayshon Harris (15.3 PPG, 2.9 APG) and Gabe McGlothan (11.1 PPG, 8.6 RPG), but unfortunately, third-leading scorer Jovan Blacksher Jr. suffered a torn ACL recently. Still, the Antelopes have the upper hand tonight against an ice-cold Utah Tech squad.

Utah Tech Trailblazers vs. Grand Canyon Antelopes Betting Prediction

Utah Tech have gone just 1-4 against WAC schools, and since Gooden has been sidelined, they've gone 0-4 SU and 0-4 ATS. Grand Canyon have had some mixed results lately, but they should bounce back tonight after a tough loss. Expect the Antelopes to win and cover versus a team missing their best player and look for the over to hit, as it's hit in eight straight home games for GCU.

Prediction: Grand Canyon -13 (-110) & Over 134.5 (-110)
