Global Credit Union Arena will be the spotlight for Monday night basketball as Grand Canyon (1-0) hosts Oregon (2-0)Â at 8 p.m. on CBS Sports Network.Â
AT A GLANCE
- The Lopes host the Ducks on Monday evening on CBS Sports Network. It is the first time Oregon has visited Phoenix since November 2022, a game that drew 2,136 fans, the fifth-largest crowd in GCU women's basketball history.
- In a 77-55 victory to open the season Wednesday, GCU sophomore Nyadieng Yiech had an 18-point, 11-rebound game with 7-for-7 accuracy on free throws. It was the first Lopes double-double in a season opener since Evan Zars posted 11 points and 10 rebounds against Arizona Christian on Nov. 7, 2022.
- GCU made 19 of 21 free throws (91%) against Jackson State. Lopes head coach Winston Gandy's squad ranked 40th nationally in free throw percentage last season, but Wednesday's game was GCU's best under Gandy with at least 10 attempts.
- The Lopes are 165-57 all-time at Global Credit Union Arena.Â
- Eleven GCU newcomers enter Phoenix as freshmen or transfers. Yiech (No. 59) and sophomore Dasha Biriuk (No. 83) ranked in the SportsCenter NEXT Top 100 in 2025, while freshman Lanelle Wright ranked No. 79 in the 2026 class.Â
- The Lopes were picked to finish second in the Mountain West Preseason Poll, garnering five first-place votes.Â
- Eleven Lopes scored in the season-opening victory, including four in double figures for the first time in a regular-season game since Jan. 28, 2026 vs. Utah State.Â
- Based off last season's final NET rankings, Oregon will be GCU's sixth top-100 NET opponent under Gandy.Â
- Lopes junior guard Chloe Mann scored 16 points with three 3-pointers vs. Jackson State. Mann, a Preseason All-Mountain West pick, averaged 13.3 points last season to rank 10th in the Mountain West.Â
THIS GAME
- After a 22-point season-opening victory, GCU hosts Oregon on Monday night in the teams' fourth meeting in the last four seasons.Â
- The Ducks won each previous meeting. Monday's contest is the second ever GCU-Oregon game at Global Credit Union Arena.Â
- GCU will play on CBS Sports Network for the second consecutive season, one of six nationally televised games this season for the Lopes. Â
SCOUTING OREGON
- Coming in 2-0 after two wins at Matthew Knight Arena, Oregon earned preseason top-25 votes and begins a string of three road games Monday night in Phoenix.Â
- The Ducks defeated MW member Hawai'i 87-54Â in their season opener and beat Washington State by seven Friday evening.Â
- Four Ducks have double-figure scoring averages through a pair of games, led by Katie Fiso at 16.5 points per game. Fiso has 33 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists in two games, ranking 25th nationally for assists.
- Two of the 11 players to have a double-double this season will square off Monday. Ehis Etute had 15 points and 14 rebounds against Hawai'i while Yiech had an 18-point, 11-rebound showing over Jackson State.Â
- Oregon is top 30 in offensive rebounds per game, averaging 20.Â
- Its 5.5 blocks per game is just outside the top 50 and ranks third best in the Big Ten.Â
- Oregon will be the fourth GCU opponent that either is nationally ranked or receiving votes since 2022-23. Oregon was No. 23 when the teams met in November 2024.
WHAT'S NEXT?Â
- GCU's final game of three straight at home comes Friday versus Gonzaga at 6 p.m.Â
- It will be the second straight on national television, with Friday's game broadcast on ESPN Unlimited.Â
