GCU is 2-0 so far with wins over Robert Morris and Florida A&M. They have a tall starting line-up of 6-3, 6-4, 6-6, 6-7, 6-10. No short guards.
They shoot well, and in the short season so far, their defense has been amazingly good. Opponents shoot 36% overall and 24% from the arc. They are +2 on the boards. They do average 17 turnovers per game.
Three players average double figures. Joshua Braun does the most damage at 15.5 ppg. He is a redshirt senior guard who is shooting 50% from the arc. He is their career leader in made 3-pointers, so you can pretty well figure he has a perpetual green light to fire away. They appear to rebound by committee, with no one averaging over 6.5 per game.
Last year they drew in the 6000-7000 range in their first two home games.
Sagarin picks GCU by 10. RealtimeRPI has them by 16.
