Grand Canyon vs Stanford Prediction

The Grand Canyon Antelopes will face the Stanford Cardinal on November 26, 2024, at Maples Pavilion in Stanford, California, as part of the Acrisure Holiday Classic. Tip-off is set for 7:00 PM ET and will air on truTV. This matchup pits a 3-2 Grand Canyon team, aiming to build on its win over Norfolk State, against a red-hot 6-0 Stanford team that just edged Santa Clara in a 71-69 thriller. Both squads bring strong scoring ability, with Grand Canyon averaging 79.6 points per game and Stanford close behind at 79.2 points​. Get in on all the action with our free NCAAB picks.

Stanford is led by forward Maxime Raynaud, who has been dominant this season, averaging 22.8 points and 12.8 rebounds per game. His ability to control the paint and stretch the floor will challenge Grand Canyon’s interior defense. The Cardinal has complemented Raynaud with solid play from guards like Oziyah Sellers, making them versatile on offense. Defensively, they’ve been exceptional, holding opponents to just 62.7 points per game.

Grand Canyon counters with Tyon Grant-Foster, a two-way force who averages 20.1 points and 6.1 rebounds, and JaKobe Coles, who adds 19.4 points per game. However, the Antelopes’ struggles with turnovers (15.4 per game) could play into Stanford’s hands, as the Cardinal thrives on forcing mistakes.

Grand Canyon vs Stanford Pick Analysis

Grand Canyon has not been able to handle the better teams they have faced, unlike years past. Stanford will be yet another step up in competition. Grand Canyon has no answer for Raynaud on paper, and we think Stanford will be able to score at will. Prediction: Stanford wins 78-68.
