The Line: Betting Odds: Grand Canyon -14.5 — Over/Under: +155.5
The Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons and Grand Canyon Lopes meet Monday in the college basketball action at the Global Credit Union Arena. Here’s a IPFW vs Grand Canyon Prediction. This article will include a IPFW vs Grand Canyon Pick.
The Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons won 19 games last season and enter year 11 under coach Jon Coffman.
Corey Hadnot II returns after averaging 9 points and 1.6 assists, while Maximus Nelson averaged 7.3 points and 2.2 rebounds. Deangelo Elisee averaged 1.9 points and 0.1 assists, and Chris Morgan played in 177 minutes last season. Fort Wayne lost their best players in Jalen Jackson and Rasheed Bello, but Hadnot II showed potential and could be capable of leading the way with an expanded role. Purdue Fort Wayne has won no fewer than 17 games in each of the last four seasons.
The Grand Canyon Lopes won 26 games last year, made the big dance for a third straight season, and enter year six under coach Bryce Drew.
Makaih Williams returns after averaging 8.2 points and 2.4 assists, while Caleb Shaw averaged 6.1 points and 2.5 rebounds. Those are the only two returning players from last year’s squad. Dennis Evans comes over from Louisville, Dusty Stromer transfers from Gonzaga, and Makaih Williams comes over from UT Arlington. Lots of new faces and a move to the MWC, it’s going to be interesting to see if Grand Canyon can keep up this momentum.
Neither Fairleigh Dickinson nor Wagner have a player listed on its injury report.
This is a big number for two teams trying to figure things out with so much roster turnover, but Grand Canyon is the more talented side and has a history of beating up on the teams it should beat up. With the transfer portal giving Grand Canyon a shot in the arm, I expect a double-digit victory. This feels like IPFW is a step or two out of its class and will need a game or two to figure things out in terms of a rotation. I’ll lay the points.
