VS. UC RIVERSIDE
This marks the 30th meeting between GCU and UC Riverside, with the Antelopes holding the 18-11 lead in the all-time series. The last time these two teams met was on Feb. 4, 2000, a 68-67 Highlanders win. UC Riverside is 7-6 so far this season.
LAST TIME OUT
GCU snapped their three-game win streak with a 72-59 loss to visiting Harvard on Dec. 30 in front of a sellout crowd (7,412) at GCU Arena. The Crimson were ranked in the 2014-15 Associated Press Preseason Top 25 poll after going 27-5 last season and advancing to the third round of the 2013-14 NCAA Tournament. The Lopes shot 44.2 percent from the floor (23-for-52) and outscored the Crimson 38-32 in the paint. Harvard went 25-for-48 (52.1 percent) in the game, including 60.0 percent (12-for-20) over the final 20 minutes.
HEATING UP FROM THE FLOOR
The Lopes have shot over 50.0 percent five times overall this season, including a season-best 61.7 percent (29-for-47) against Abilene Christian on Dec. 28 at GCU Arena. GCU has outscored their opponents 401-358 in those games. The Lopes have matched their total from last season, as they also had five games where they shot at least 50.0 percent from the field.
