Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon Antelopes embody explosive growth, an electric and fanatical community spirit, and a new era of championship success in Phoenix, Arizona. The university's athletic identity is defined by the "Havocs," a massive and passionate student section widely considered one of the best in the nation, who transform GCU Arena into one of the most intimidating and vibrant home-court advantages in all of college sports. Fueled by this incredible support, the men's basketball team has rapidly become a dominant force in the Western Athletic Conference, making multiple trips to March Madness and securing the program's first-ever NCAA Division I Tournament victory in 2024. This modern success is built on a rich championship pedigree that includes an NCAA Division II national title in basketball, establishing a long tradition of winning. The "Lopes Up" mantra extends across campus, with powerhouse baseball and men's soccer programs also capturing WAC championships and earning their own berths in the NCAA postseason. The Grand Canyon Antelopes represent a new powerhouse in the West, a program that has harnessed unprecedented university growth and student passion to build a championship culture in record time.
