Grand Canyon stumbled its way to a 3y-19 halftime deficit, before finding its groove in the second half to beat Montana State to open the season.
By halftime, his team down 36-19 and showing little fight, Grand Canyon coach Bryce Drew felt he had to change it up.They didn't play long but their impacts were felt. Shaw hit a 3 in his only attempt and Knox blocked a shot. That seemed to spark the rest of the Antelopes, who rallied from a 19-point, second-half deficit to beat Big Sky champion Montana State 60-54 on Monday night before a loud, sellout crowd at GCU Arena.
This tied for the second-largest comeback in the Division I era by GCU, matching the 19-point deficit the Lopes overcame in 2016 at UT Rio Grande Valley.There was none by GCU in the first half, but the second half was different. Point guard Jovan Blacksher finished with 18 points, including a huge 3-pointer from the corner with 23 seconds left to give GCU a 58-54 lead.GCU made only 6 of 24 shots in the first half, committed six turnovers and only had one offensive rebound.
Gabe McGlothan's dunk along the baseline on a pass from Ray Harrison with 2:30 left gave GCU a 55-52 lead.
