As Grand Canyon’s stellar season continues, they got their leader back from injury in Shadow Mountain High alum and All-WAC First Teamer Jovan Blacksher Jr.
Last year, he was voted WAC Preseason Players of the Year before suffering a season-ending knee injury just 12 games in.
As he works his way back to full strength and shakes off some rust, Jovan’s return has inspired the Lopes as he could be the the last piece to their March Madness puzzle.
Hear from Jovan, Tyon Grant-Foster, and head coach Bryce Drew in the clip above.
Last time the Lopes lost was Nov. 19, 2023.
Since then, Bryce Drew & his guys have rattled off a 13-game win streak & opened #WAC play 6-0.
There’s no doubt that this program has earned serious consideration for the Top 25 AP Poll.
