(NCAAB) Grand Canyon vs. Utah Valley,
Total: 131.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
Only five teams give up fewer points per game than Grand Canyon. The Antelopes hold opponents to an average of 57.7 points. 
Utah Valley has scored fewer than 60 points in three of its last four games. 

The Wolverines are a strong defensive team just like Grand Canyon. Utah Valley holds foes to 65.3 points per game. The Wolverines rank 29th in defensive field goal percentage and 16th in 3-point defense. 

Grand Canyon scores much less on the road. The Antelopes have averaged just 54.3 points in their last three away games. 

The oddsmaker has set a low total, but I don't believe it's low enough considering that Utah Valley has reduced its tempo. Grand Valley also plays slow.  

The combination of pace, strong defenses and low-scoring offenses should produce an Under.
