12/20/2014 8:52:00 AM | Men's Basketball
Grand Canyon (5-7) is back in action tonight when they host St. Edward's at GCU Arena in Phoenix. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. Cox7 will carry the television broadcast which can also be found on www.cox7.com, beginning with their pregame show at 6:30 p.m. The game can be heard on radio on KXXT 1010 AM (also via the KXXT "TuneIn Radio" App), with GCU Alum Michael Potter calling the action alongside 'The Coach", Dan Nichols.
GAME NOTES
VS. ST. EDWARD'S
This marks the first meeting between GCU and St. Edward's. The Hilltoppers bring a 10-0 record into the game, including a 2-0 mark in Heartland Conference play at NCAA Division II. SEU has also played Incarnate Word and Rice in exhibition contests this season.
LAST TIME OUT
GCU dropped a thrilling 82-80 game to Incarnate Word on Dec. 17 at GCU Arena. The Lopes led by as many as 13 points, but could not fend off a second half rally by the Cardinals, who shot 52.5 percent (32-for-61). GCU also shot over 50.0 percent (50.9) but were hampered by a 9-for-28 second half performance. Joshua Braun led GCU with a career-high 22 points.
QUITE THE FIRST HALF
The Lopes scored a season-high 50 first-half points on Dec. 17 against Incarnate Word, the most over the first 20 minutes under head coach Dan Majerle. That total is the fourth-most in a half over the past two seasons, as they recorded 54 points in the second half on three occasions last season. GCU shot a blistering 70.4 percent (19-for-27) in the first half versus UIW, including a 7-for-9 mark (77.8 percent) from beyond the arc.
