Grand Canyon men’s basketball is firing up with a fresh, electric roster this season — nine new faces including standout point guard Dylan Darling, who transferred from St. John’s. Darling loves the vibe, the coaching vision, and the West Coast energy, saying the team’s chemistry is already clicking. After a bonding trip to Canada that tested their mettle on the court and deepened trust off it, this squad is laser-focused on growth, grit, and making noise in the competitive college hoops scene — one day at a time.

The Lobos stunned Grand Canyon in a gritty home win, never letting the visitors take the lead while their balanced offense and stifling defense shut down the Lopes’ chances. Coach Bryce Drew was ejected after two techs, tipping the momentum in favor of New Mexico, who extended their home winning streak to 21 games — tying for fourth longest in school history.
