W&M always plays us tough, so I say we lose this one on an uncontested layup at the buzzer. Dave will praise Reuter afterwords for standing still and cheering before realizing he was actually in the game watching the winning basket go in.

W&M by 6. 72 - 66.

W&M beat us last year at EBA. Mason returns the favor at Kaplan arena on Saturday and wins by 7. It will be the best game they play to date this season. Then i wake up and realize it was all a dream, make the drive to Williamsburg, visit my parents, take them to the game and watch Mason blow a 15 point lead with 10 min left and i drive home defeated and disgusted.

We get smoked.

W&M - 79
Mason - 66

Since we suck at defending the perimeter... William and Mary will light us up as that's their usual M.O.

Us - 73

When the schedule first came out I was a little bummed that I would be out of town and miss the chance to see our guys play (only an hour tops from the Beach). I will be tempted to put a little money on the game while I enjoy the sun and fun at Atlantis instead....not so bummed anymore.

You better bet a bunch and pray - you’re going to need it to pay that Atlantis bill! Have fun!

I'm going blindly optimistic.

The good news is that Bill and the Bitch doesn't really have guys who will blow by anyone. The bad news is that they will backcut us for open layups for the entire game. Reuter can't play more than 10 minutes in this game or the layup line will be open for business.

W&M - 70
Mason - 65

Like most games, no reason to think Patriot can win, especially when the opponent has the better players, smarter players, better coach, better system, etc.

Unfortunately everyone has someone who can blow past us. Retirees on scooters can get to the rim against us.

Does W&M have a free stream for the game? I thought somebody had posted they did in one of the threads that was discussing TV coverage.

Sagarin: W&M favored by 3.5
Kenpom: W&M favored by 4

Also according to Kenpom, W&M:

• shoots well (top 100) both 2's and 3's. Mason is not good defending the 2 (264th) but pretty good (79th) in defending the 3.
  
• surprisingly, commits a lot of turnovers and doesn't turnover their opponents (bottom 100 on both). Indeed they are 304th in defensive efficiency vs Mason's 184th.

There is a possibility their best player is injured and won't play tomorrow: https://csnbbs.com/thread-865016.html
