What to Know

Cougars fans better hope the squad plays one heck of a game on Thursday as the odds are decidedly against them. Their road trip will continue as they head out to face the Grand Canyon Antelopes at 9:00 p.m. ET at Global Credit Union Arena. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.

The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was JaKobe Coles, who went 7 for 13 en route to 19 points plus five rebounds and three blocks. His performance made up for a slower matchup against Georgia on Saturday. Another player making a difference was Duke Brennan, who went 5 for 6 en route to 13 points plus seven rebounds.

The oddsmakers were right in line with the betting community on this one, as the game opened as a 29.5-point spread, and stayed right there.
