Walton Named A-10 Rookie of the Week for Fifth Time - George Mason University Athletics

Sophomore Zahirah Walton has been named the Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week for the fifth time this season, announced by the league office on Monday.

gomason.com

"In a 1-1 week for the Patriots (19-4, 10-2), Walton averaged a team-best 12.5 points and 5.5 rebounds while going .474 from the floor and .750 from the free throw line. In a defensive battle against Saint Joseph's, she posted six points, three rebounds, a steal and matched her career-high of two blocks.

In Mason's first road win over Dayton in program history, Walton exploded for a game-high 19 points and team-high eight rebounds while matching her career-best of three steals to go with an assist and a block. She went 6-11 from the field and a perfect 6-6 from the line to boost Mason to a dominant 74-50 victory."

3 really good opportunities remain: at Davidson and at vcu (borderline Q1/Q2 road games) and vs Richmond (solid Q2 home game).

Win two of those (and don't drop any bad losses) and we'll be in good position.

Mason on the Road to Davidson for Midweek Matchup - George Mason University Athletics

The George Mason women's basketball team will head to Davidson, N.C. for a midweek matchup with the Wildcats on Wednesday night.

gomason.com

"George Mason and Davidson are set to meet for the 13th time in the series, with all 12 previous matchups coming as members of the Atlantic 10 and since 2015. The teams have been evenly matched, with both winning six games in the series after Mason won 79-41 in Fairfax last month. The Patriots are riding a three-game win streak over the Wildcats, including back-to-back games in EagleBank.

The last time out, both teams picked up Atlantic 10 road wins. Mason won for the first time in program history at Dayton, 74-50. The Wildcats won their third-straight game, beating Loyola Chicago on the road, 48-45."

Is there any word on when/if Harris will return?

 

[jessej]

for some reason tonight's game at Davidson is not on ESPN+

GMU up 22-13 end of Q1
--
terrible Q2
Davidson goes on a 13-0 run
takes the quarter 21-4
GMU down 34-26 at the half
---
GMU loses Q3 by 4
this may be over
as well as the chances of an at large bid

Likewise.
Listening to audio....announcer said that Sonja Smith, Paula Suarez, and Z. Walton are NOT Playing. Doesn't give a reason. Harris is playing.

That sounds like discipline.

That sounds like discipline.

Smith was kicked in the head last game. Don’t know about the others though.

I forgot about that. Suarez was also out for a while but came back in before the game was over...lingering injury perhaps?

Score?

Alleged suspensions aside, you’re rarely if ever going to win a game when you shoot 23% from behind the arc and let the other team shoot 63%. That right there was a 15-point difference in an 8-point loss.
