I guarantee a loss here.

We seem to match up well and play well against them. It will be a tough one nonetheless. Richmond by 3.

Mason can not afford to play like they did on Saturday and expect to win. Going to have to up our game in order to get this W. if they dont it could be a long night. With that said, i think Mason can win this game, but there will be very little room for error. Should be a good one.
GMU- Points
UR - Less points

Having Boyd back will be clutch. We barely escaped Richmond with the W and that was after shooting lights out in the first half. Gonna have to get some quality scoring from Kier and Newman I think. On the plus side Tamera finally looked good on offense yesterday and played some good D on Cline in the first matchup so maybe he'll be able to give Jalen a breather.

Mason is a bad match-up for us and Mooney has been outcoached by Paulson in all of our matches thus far.

This is the game that I think is the highest hurdle for us remaining. Losing to Mason when they were coached by Hewitt was just flat embarrassing but Paulson has them playing well and they have talent.

Khwan and SDJ have got to stop dribble penetration.

George Mason's RPI is 115. Winning their remaining 3 home games would put them around 100, and stealing a win at GW raises them into the 80s

 

[MasonCrew]

It's odd to say, but this is a big week for us. Finishing in the top 100 RPI was be a much more dramatic improvement than I was hoping for at the beginning of the season.

 

[PDGL Hoops]

Win please.

I have been searching... can't find anything yet. It says it was on ASN, but I can't find a replay of that game on there
