Get to know potential NCAA Tournament team: George Mason
This is my video and I'm so happy it could make a way to a forum like this! It honestly means a lot to me as I've just started creating. I hope everyone here is happy with my analysis of GMU. I think a win vs vcu will get them an at large bid and kick vcu out, not confident that will happen sadly.

I think this was a pretty well done and fair analysis. Only critique (and this is a nit) would be that Mason may have only have two consistent offensive stars, but they always seem to have one or more of the others step up to provide unexpected offense. If it only happened a couple times, it could easily be passed off as a fluke. When it happens over and over, as it has now over 20 wins, it's a staple of our offense.

True, the reason I chose not to say anything along those lines is just due to the lack of consistency from everyone else. ( I'm also a full time student so grinding out these videos and staying on top of work is a struggle sometimes)

I presume you mean lack of consistency from everyone else.

George Mason
Profile Strengths: Solid winning percentage in Q1+Q2 games.
Profile Weaknesses: Poor quality metrics, one loss each in Q3 and Q4.
Looking Ahead: The Patriots continued their winning ways, dominating Rhode Island over the weekend and surviving a near-collapse at Saint Louis on Tuesday. That triumph over the Billikens marked George Mason’s third overtime win in Atlantic 10 play. GMU is still on the outside looking in, but sweeping the next two Saturdays — vs. Saint Joseph’s and at vcu — could shift that standing.

Hopefully this is taken into consideration:

Profile Weaknesses: Poor quality metrics, one loss each in Q3 and Q4 but by only 1 pt in each game and all the way back in MID NOVEMBER, an entirely different calendar year, in the 4th and 5th games of the season

They used to. Last 10 used to be a metric. But they removed it from the criteria, probably to shield collapsing P5 teams from being left out, probably also to prevent non-P5 teams from getting in who start slow and improve as the season goes on.
Yeah NET is purely a way to not only protect power conference schools, but actively expand how many get in. A team in the SEC (not naming names but looking squarely in the direction of one Mr Calipari) might get four Quad 1 wins, but they go 4-14 in conference and they’re still on the bubble. It’s basically a further giveaway to football schools down south.

George Mason Patriots (33%)

George Mason almost let a win slip through on Tuesday against Saint Louis, recovering to win in OT. But the Patriots still have 33% tournament odds, whether we look at the ESPN forecast or the composite of models -- and it's unclear whether that's underrating their chances. The Patriots were listed in 65% of Bracket Matrix's most recent entries. But they also rank 47th in SOR, boast only a single win against top-100 competition, and only have one real résumé-boosting game remaining (at vcu on Feb. 22). George Mason's tourney hopes might rest on the A-10 tournament. (Updated Feb. 12 at 9:22 a.m.)
