A 15 seed should be beaten soundly. Else we get Hamptoned ala USU.Grand Canyon doesn't have any impressive wins, a 1 point loss against Arizona St., losses to San Francisco, Colorado, and had a win against Nevada. This is a team we should beat, but look like a solid team.
Exactly. Let's not set the bar so low. sweet 16 must happen.A 15 beating a 2 has happened only 6 times. So yeah, I am expecting Iowa to win Friday.
Athe the same time, they won not only their regular-season conference title but also their post-season conference title. They are not to be overlooked.Grand Canyon doesn't have any impressive wins, a 1 point loss against Arizona St., losses to San Francisco, Colorado, and had a win against Nevada. This is a team we should beat, but look like a solid team.
At least their name isn't Northwestern Grand Canyon State.Like everything about this matchup except the purple uniforms... we've had a lot of trouble with the perps
Theres this thing were in called a Pandemic so they shortened the time teams have to be in the so called ncaa tournament bubble. Granted it was only one day but thatsThanks for the info. Saturday/Monday, did I read that right Rob? Why the departure from the usual Thurs/Sat, Fri../Sunday I wonder?
I lived in Mesa as a kid (when NBA was actually watchable); Thunder Dan Majerle was my frickin hero.Another one of these "unknown" schools that's pretty big.
GCU has 25,000 students on campus in Phoenix and 90,000 more online. It's actually been around since 1949. They offer over 200 programs in 9 different colleges. Athletics-wise, they've been D1 since the 2013-14 season as a member of the WAC. Former Phoenix Sun Dan Majerle was their HC until they canned him last Spring.
And...we're going to kick their ass.

That's why you cannot overlook Christian school. Fran should know that because he coached at Notre Dame and his wife played for Notre DameA 15 beating a 2 has happened only 6 times. So yeah, I am expecting Iowa to win Friday.
