We have reached the slow period of the college basketball season, where final exams and the holiday season gives us one, rather than two, games per week. After a thrilling win against Purdue last Sunday, the Texas Longhorns are back on the court this evening against 5-4 Grand Canyon University. Taking the Antelopes for granted would be a mistake.
GCU is coached by retired NBA player Thunder Dan Majerle. Majerle played 14 seasons in the league, and is mostly remembered for his time in Phoenix. After retiring, he eventually got into coaching, first as an assistant for the Suns before taking the head job at GCU in 2013 as the program transitioned to D-I.
