Who's Playing

UT Arlington @ Grand Canyon

Regular Season Records: UT Arlington 11-20; Grand Canyon 20-11

What to Know

The Grand Canyon Antelopes and the UT Arlington Mavericks are set to clash at 5 p.m. ET March 7 at Orleans Arena in the first round of the Western Athletic Conference Tourney. Grand Canyon should still be riding high after a victory, while the Mavericks will be looking to right the ship.

The Antelopes beat the Utah Tech Trailblazers 71-61 this past Friday.

Meanwhile, UT Arlington found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 80-56 punch to the gut against the Seattle Redhawks this past Friday.

Grand Canyon is the favorite in this one, with an expected 8.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 6-13 against the spread when favored.

A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Grand Canyon have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 40.20%, which places them 19th in college basketball. Less enviably, UT Arlington has only been able to knock down 41.10% percent of their shots, which is the 13th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. So the cards are definitely stacked against the Mavericks.
