So both the Jacks and Lopes win on the road after trailing. Big differences in the comebacks however. After a slow first quarter the Jacks take control and dispatch Portland State without much difficulty.
For the Lopes, a replay of the Abilene game, the Lopes struggled in the first half, before riding their defense to a comeback in the fourth. GCU played without three point specialist, former UNLV Reb Durazo-Frescas (the Lopes hit no threes in the game) win a close one. The road is relentless and rough, but GCU runs their streak to 15 with a gutsy win.
Abilene had no trouble with the Lancers so GCU sits alone at the top of the WAC. The Lopes will be favored in all remaining games, two against CBU.
