2025 Tournament PreviewGrand Canyon is back in the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive year, bringing with it four starters from last year's team that upset Saint Mary's in the first round. The Antelopes play even faster than last season, ranking 14th in KenPom's tempo rating. Leading the breakneck offense is 6-8 senior JaKobe Coles (14.8 ppg, 5.7 rpg) and 6-7 senior Tyon Grant-Foster (14.5 ppg, 6.0 rpg). GCU ranks 149th in offensive efficiency (per KenPom) and doesn't shoot the three well (285th), but it gets to the line a lot, sporting a top-10 FTA/FGA in the country. Defense is also stout for a mid-major, as the Lopes rank 25th in opponent two-point shooting and create opportunities with the nation's 31st-highest turnover rate. Coach Bryce Drew's squad lost its only Quad 1 game by five points to Georgia -- the only tournament team it faced -- but had a Quad 2 win against Stanford and has the tools to pull another upset.
