Key moment
The Lopes opened the second half with every starter scoring on each of the first six possessions for a 56-42 lead that prompted a Southern Utah timeout. GCU allowed one made field goal on its last nine shots of the first half to take a 43-36 halftime lead that carried over into the second-half startKey statistic
After getting outscored 42-16 on points in the paint against Louisiana Tech, GCU scored 56 in the paint at Southern Utah. The Lopes' 15-for-15 free throw shooting was mostly earned on action in the paint.Quotable
GCU head coach Bryce Drew: "I thought we came out in the second half and defended much better. I thought Ray (Harrison) made some big baskets in the middle there. Gabe (McGlothan) was just sensational pretty much the whole night, and then Tyon (Grant-Foster) was spectacular those last five minutes."What's next?
The Lopes continue the Utah road trip by moving south to St. George, where GCU will play at Utah Tech on Saturday night. The Lopes swept the series with the Trailblazers last season.Return to GCULopes.com later tonight for Paul Coro's updated game recap with more details and reactions from Lopes head coach Bryce Drew and players.
