Mason is coming off the first back-to-back losses since 11/21 against Houston. I am not at all disappointed in this team, but losing this game would be a bit of a letdown. In order to make this a "rivalry" we have to actually start winning some games. With their size, GW is a bad match up for us. Last time out, GW ran a set against us that took advantage of our defensive switching principals and left Otis overmatched in the post time and time again. I hope DP has a game plan to counter this time.

I see this as a very important game. If we lose two of these last three (4 of last 5), all momentum will be lost going into the conference tournament.

I can't remember us ever beating GW going back years- so I feel like we are due

2 wins in the last 30 years?

Was that win in 2010 Karl Hobb's last season as coach?

"SUPER STEEVES: The graduate student has found his form in the last month, reaching double figures in scoring six times in the last nine games and establishing new season highs three times. Steeves, who missed seven games in December with a knee injury, hit double figures in the scoring column for the first time this season with 11 at George Mason on Jan. 25. He followed with 13 the next game against Saint Louis, and then had the best scoring output of his career when he went for 26 off the bench on Thursday vs. UMass."

A win over GW and a loss by LaSalle today would go a long way in preventing Mason from playing in the 8/9 game. The opposite could easily occur, which would obviously have the opposite effect. With Fordham and Davidson's losses (and tough remaining schedules) in their last games a 6-8 seed is very likely for GMU. Come on Mason - beat GW!

I think the preview incorrectly states that Mason has the 3rd toughest schedule among the teams it's fighting for position with. I wouldn't have thought that, but it appears that Mason has the 4th toughest schedule based on opponents winning %. Davidson, GW and Fordham have tougher schedules if measured in terms of opponents' record.

Technical question. My son set me up with Chromecast so that I can put anything on youtube and put it through my TV. Is there a way to do that for the A10/facebook stream of the game as well?

Thank you Brian and Gemini for helping a technology-impaired fan!!

 

[MasonCrew]

Definitely not an easy win. I'd almost be surprised if we win at all.

I have a feeling it will be a shootout since I took the under.
