Who's Playing

Montana State @ Grand Canyon

What to Know

The Grand Canyon Antelopes and the Montana State Bobcats are opening their 2022-2023 seasons against one another at 9 p.m. ET Monday at Grand Canyon University Arena. After a 23-8 record last year, Grand Canyon comes in with an eye to spark another first-rate season. Montana State went 27-8 last season and made a brief appearance in the NCAA tournament before losing 97-62 to the Texas Tech Red Raiders in the first round.

A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Antelopes held their opponents to a field goal percentage of 38.50%, good for fifth in college basketball. But Montana State ranked 31st in field goal percentage, closing the 2021-2022 season with 47.30% overall (top 9%). These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.

Grand Canyon has the odds in their favor, so they'll need to guard against complacency. A victory is hardly a sure thing, especially this early in the season, so expect a good game.
