San Diego State at Grand Canyon picks and predictions

Prediction

Grand Canyon 72, San Diego State 68

Moneyline

PASS.

Grand Canyon is a good play here, but with both teams having struggled against quality opponents, this should be a tight game. The value is on the spread instead.

Against the spread

BET GRAND CANYON +2.5 (-110).

Grand Canyon has covered 3 of 4 games at home and does have a quality 76-72 neutral-court win over the San Francisco Dons on Nov. 17. With 6-foot-10 F Duke Brennan, it should have the size to battle with the Aztecs in the paint.

The Aztecs have failed to cover 5 of their last 6 games that featured a spread. In true road games, they are 1-1 straight up and 0-2 ATS. They beat UC San Diego by 1 despite shooting better from the field and deep in their last outing. San Diego State doesn’t have the offensive prowess to blow out the Antelopes, and it has struggled as a favorite, just 1-4 ATS.

Back GRAND CANYON +2.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 143.5 (-108).

San Diego State has scored 76 or fewer in 3 straight games, and it has scored just 63 and 65 in road games. It is 5-2 O/U on the season but is 0-2 O/U in its two road games.

Grand Canyon is 4-3 O/U, but has gone Under in 2 straight games as well. It has yet to allow more than 75 points in a game this season and has yet to allow more than 71 in a home game. The Antelopes have gone Under in every total that is 145 or higher (0-3 O/U in those battles).

Take UNDER 143.5 (-108).

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — U.S. warships remain on high alert following a series of attacks against an American warship and multiple commercial ships in the Middle East.

These attacks happened on Sunday when Iran-backed Houthi militants fired a series of ballistic missiles at commercial vessels in the Red Sea.

SEE Pentagon says US warship, commercial ships attacked in Red Sea

10News spoke with Bryan Stern, founder and CEO of Project Dynamo, a non-profit organization based in Tampa, Florida, on how these attacks can affect San Diego.

Project Dynamo aids international search and rescue in disaster areas and conflict zones worldwide, where the U.S. government has no access or presence.

Stern is a career intelligence officer who has spent 25 years serving at the national level. He was also a 9/11 first responder, Navy and Army veteran.

“We’re now in a position where bad actors are not only attacking us but thinking they can get away with it,” Stern said.

The Houthis also launched drones, which were shot down by a US Navy Destroyer, according to U.S. officials. Stern said he expects military training protocols to reflect “the current threat environment.”

With an increasing number of commercial ships under threat, San Diego businesses could also feel the effects of the attacks, especially when it comes to shipped goods, according to Stern.

“We’ve survived global shipping problems all through COVID, and we all know how that worked out…it wasn’t very good,” Stern said. “When the ceilings are under duress or threat, manufacturing gets complicated. Shipping gets complicated. Commercial business gets complicated.”

Before heading to Phoenix to play Grand Canyon on Tuesday, San Diego State jumped back into the Top 25 poll.

The No. 25 Aztecs (7-1) have won six consecutive games since losing at BYU on Nov. 10.

The latest was a 63-62 victory over crosstown rival UC San Diego on Friday night.

Micah Parrish (15 points and 10 rebounds) and Jaedon LeDee (13 points and 10 rebounds) each recorded double-doubles in the game. LeDee had a layup with 38 seconds left to play and hit the game-winning shot as time expired following an offensive rebound.

“It’s a game we knew we were going to get,” San Diego State coach Brian Dutcher said. “I’ve played enough of these crosstown rivalry games against USD (University of San Diego) and now UCSD (UC San Diego) and we knew it was going to be like this. It was going to be an incredible environment. They were going to play at their absolute best.

“They did and we found a way to make enough timely plays to get a victory.”

As part of its six-game winning streak, San Diego State has overtime victories against Pac-12 schools Washington and Cal.

“We’ve got a good program, we’re able to learn lessons as we win,” Dutcher said. “Most programs are going to take an L (loss) or two L’s and learn a hard lesson. We’re learning lessons, but we’re still finding a way to win games.”

Grand Canyon (6-1) has won three consecutive games and is 4-0 at home this season.

The Antelopes are coming off a 76-69 win over UT Arlington on Saturday at home.

That victory and the 79-69 win at UT Rio Grande Valley last week has Grand Canyon at 2-0 in the WAC for the fourth straight year under coach Bryce Drew.

Grand Canyon entered the game against UT Arlington with the third-most free-throw attempts per game (29.5) in the nation. The Antelopes took just four free throws in the first half before going 25-for-32 at the line in the second.

That allowed Grand Canyon to win despite shooting 37.5 percent from the field or worse and committing 14 turnovers — its first such victory in its 11 years in Division I.

“When you’re not shooting it well, you’ve got to find other ways to win,” Grand Canyon coach Bryce Drew said. “Credit our guys for getting to the line, rebounding the basketball. And defense, I thought our deflections, especially those last eight minutes, getting our hands on balls, really helped us.”

Grand Canyon closed the game on a 15-3 run to pull out the comeback win.

Tyon Grant-Foster led the Antelopes with 21 points and 10 rebounds for his second consecutive double-double, the first two double-doubles of his collegiate career. Gabe McGlothan added 16 points and nine rebounds against UT Arlington.

Grant-Foster averages 22.3 points per game to lead Grand Canyon. Ray Harrison adds 14.4 ppg and McGlothan provides 9.9 points and a team-best 7.9 rebounds per contest.
