Grand Canyon vs Arizona State Prediction 

Arizona State is coming off of their first loss of the season, but they played very well against Gonzaga and covered that game easily. Grand Canyon has started the season with two straight wins, but they did struggle to get by Western Kentucky last time out. Neither team has shot the ball very well from the field, but I was encouraged by what I saw from Arizona State against Gonzaga. Take the Sun Devils here.
