Grand Canyon defeated San Diego State 73-63 in NCAA action, pulling away late to secure a 10-point win. The Lopes controlled the game’s momentum in the second half, turning defensive stops into enough offense to build separation and close out the result. San Diego State kept the game within reach for long stretches, but Grand Canyon’s ability to string together key possessions—getting quality looks and limiting second-chance opportunities—proved decisive as the game tightened. With the score still competitive entering the final stretch, Grand Canyon executed more cleanly on both ends and created the cushion it needed. The result is a notable win for Grand Canyon against a traditionally physical San Diego State team, while the Aztecs will look to address offensive consistency and late-game execution moving forward.
