Lopes down Coyotes in home exhibition
New season, new look.
Grand Canyon, with its quicker guard-oriented lineup, pushed tempo and scrambled on defense and the boards to run away from CSU San Bernardino for an 87-60 exhibition rout at sold-out GCU Arena.
The 7,190 fans were treated to the uptempo look of the Lopes, from a trimmer Alessandro Lever to the big scoring debut of Isiah Brown.
GCU showed scoring prowess with a 50-point first half, led by the first 19 of Brown's game-high 26 points, but sustained an early Halloween scare from the Coyotes to start the second half. After a time out from Lopes head coach Dan Majerle with CSU San Bernardino within six points, GCU took off on a 15-2 run with Lever scoring eight of it. On his way to a double-double of 15 points and 12 rebounds, Lever looked sharp with an array of moves that included a drop-step slam and a 3-point play follow.
With a smallish lineup, GCU held its own against a bigger team to edge the Coyotes in rebounding. Lever led the boards effort but newcomer Lorenzo Jenkins, a graduate transfer from Colorado State, helped with 11 rebounds in a starting role.
In his first game in 608 days, Brown teamed with freshman Jovan Blacksher Jr. as GCU's starting backcourt and showed how aggressively the Lopes can be with transition offense and perimeter defense. Blacksher finished with 12 points, four assists and one steal.
GCU shot 46.4 percent from the field only hit 9 of 31 3-pointers (29.0 percent) while holding CSU San Bernardino to 32 percent shooting.
