Grand Canyon up next for Cats, their night-owl fans

Grand Canyon makes its first appearance at McKale Center since 1980 when it faces the Wildcats on Wednesday night, a dismal 9 p.m. start. The Antelopes got a lot of mileage for playing Louisville close (79-70 loss) and for averaging 6,982 per game in their spiffy new arena. (By comparison, ASU is averaging 5,990 at home this year.) But GCU hasn’t been a ready-for-prime-time team outside of Phoenix; it has lost to SIU-Edwardsville this year. GCU’s connection to Tucson is assistant coach Chris Crevelone, a CDO grad who coached at Ironwood Ridge, and served as director of the Lute Olson Camps from 2002-07 and also worked Sean Miller’s camp in 2009, and coordinated summer camps for Richard Jefferson and Luke Walton for a few years.
