We're playing at home so it's a loss.

With Moore we lose as close one...without Moore we lose by 10+.

Feb the cream rises to the top. We start winning streak again.

 

[KAOriginal]

I assume following our pattern this is a WIN.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Loss, or at least an opportunity for Mason to not cover the spread at home.

 

[Quentin Daniels]

The W/L/W/L/W streak does not lie. (until it does)

Mark it down as a win.

 

[JimP]

La Salle reminds me of St. Bonaventure with all the high scoring guards. GMU did a good job containing the SBU guards in Olean, but their forward Gregg torched them. Gonna be another tough game.

 

[TweederGMU]

Did someone say Pookie!!!??

 

[TweederGMU]

Goodguys 65
Pookies 62

 

[psyclone]

Near unanimous--Mason is the slightest of favorites (1 pt from kenpom and vegasinsider) and .9 from rpiforecast.

 

[Washingtonian]

Vegas Insider has Mason as a 1 point favorite.

George Mason plays relatively small. Their average offense is offset by a defense that's ranked 66th in field goal percentage and 64th in three point field goal percentage. Despite their solid defense, George Mason also manages to be one of the better teams in the nation at avoiding fouls. George Mason's going-through-the-motions offense is well suited to La Salle, which presently ranks 27th worst in field goal percentage and 6th worst in three point field goal percentage defensively. The oddsmakers have George Mason as a one-point favorite.

Since George Mason doesn't really have any blue chip alumni (unless you count Karl Rove, who didn't graduate), here's Taylor Swift in a game day appropriate dress.
