Share All sharing options for: Examining Grand Canyon’s size

There’s no getting around it: the Grand Canyon Antelopes (17-6, 9-3) are big. With the 7-foot Asbjorn Midtgaard and 6-foot 10 Alessandro Lever holding down their starting post positions, their average height comes in at 77.4 inches, 101st in Division 1 but 2nd in the WAC, according to KenPom ($).

Yet that doesn’t even tell the whole story, as their effective height - essentially differential between their centers/power forwards and an average center/power forward - comes in at 12th in the nation. They’re just five spots ahead of Iowa, though the math changes without backup (and 6-foot-11) Jack Nunge.
