Grand Canyon disappointed last night, squeaking by Missouri-Kansas City as double-digit chalk, 77-74. They allowed a weak UMKC team to shoot 44.4%, winning only by exploiting a size advantage with 18 offensive rebounds. But that won't be the case tonight against second seed Utah Valley State, a team that has won 15 of the last 19. Utah Valley State has 7-foot senior Akolda Manyang (12.8 ppg, 7.8 rpg) and 6-11 senior Isaac Neilson (4.8 rpg) up front, off an 81-74 win over Cal State Bakersfield, 81-74, last night with a 39-27 rebounding edge. Utah Valley State is on a 7-2-1 spread run and holds all the cards. Play Utah Valley State.
