Arizona State Sun Devils Square Off Against the Grand Canyon Antelopes
A Preview of the Upcoming Matchup
College basketball fans will be treated to an exciting matchup on Saturday, January 28th, when the Arizona State Sun Devils square off against the Grand Canyon Antelopes. Both teams come into the game with impressive records and will be looking to add another win to their resumes.
Sun Devils Riding High After Big Win
The Sun Devils are coming off a big win over the Arizona Wildcats, their in-state rivals. The win was a statement for Arizona State, who has been one of the surprise teams in the Pac-12 this season. The Sun Devils are now 14-5 overall and 6-2 in conference play.
Arizona State is led by a trio of talented guards: Remy Martin, Josh Christopher, and Alonzo Verge. Martin is the team's leading scorer, averaging 19.5 points per game, while Christopher and Verge are both averaging over 12 points per game.
Antelopes Looking to Bounce Back
The Antelopes are coming off a tough loss to the Saint Mary's Gaels. The loss dropped Grand Canyon to 13-6 overall and 5-3 in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC).
The Antelopes are led by a pair of talented forwards: Alessandro Lever and Gabe McGlothan. Lever is the team's leading scorer, averaging 15.8 points per game, while McGlothan is averaging 14.2 points and 9.0 rebounds per game.
Matchup to Watch: Martin vs. Lever
One of the key matchups to watch in this game will be the battle between Arizona State's Remy Martin and Grand Canyon's Alessandro Lever. Martin is one of the most dynamic guards in the country, while Lever is one of the best shooters in the WAC.
Martin will be looking to use his speed and quickness to get to the basket, while Lever will be looking to knock down shots from the outside. The winner of this matchup could go a long way in determining the outcome of the game.
Prediction
This is a tough game to predict, as both teams are evenly matched. However, I give a slight edge to Arizona State. The Sun Devils are playing with a lot of confidence right now, and they have a trio of talented guards who can all score. I think Arizona State will win a close game, 75-70.
