The ‘Lopes shot 53.7 percent from the floor tonight, their third-best performance this season and the highest since a win over Montana State- Billings on Dec. 14 in Phoenix.
Jeff Lowery and Braylon Pickrel each had 15 to pace the GCU offense. Pickrel added six rebounds. Killian Larson finished with 10 points and team-high seven rebounds.
Grand Canyon trailed only twice in the game, with the last coming a little over 12 minutes into the opening half, and led by as many as 14 in the stanza.
Holy Names was able to close the gap to seven points on a few occasions early in the second half, before the ‘Lopes used an 18-7 run to lead 68-50 with 7:37 remaining in the game.
GCU, who entered the game having shot only 59 percent from the line in the previous three games, made 17-of-18 today for 94 percent. Jerome Garrison was 8-for-8 from the charity stripe.
The extended trip will make its next stop in Belmont on Monday, where the Antelopes will face Notre Dame de Namur at 8:30 p.m. (AZ time). The game can be heard live on www.GCULopes.com. GCU Alum Michael Potter will call the action.
