Why not? Spiders 72-68.

(was at the losses the last 3 years at GMU .. hadn't planned on going this year but now tempted)

I’m doubling down on your picks again Sec9. So far it’s working & we’re 2-0. This is a bit of house money game. A step up in comp but we surprise the Goo Moos.

As noted on other thread, Kenpom has this as 72-59 GMU. If I am reading the stats correctly GMU likes a slow pace, and is pretty good at defense. Sounds like a rock fight type of game. It seems like the rotation is becoming more set. To reach Trap's 8-9 wins in conference, think we need to see Tanner continue to progress, and show a lot more on defense. Need Walz to build on the Umass game. 25/15 minute split with Beagle vs Umass. Need Neskovic to show up in first half on offense.
 
Good that Jason will get the procedure he needs ...

I was shocked to see the StubHub prices for the game - huge interest it seems even with the snow. Tickets going for a crazy high $2 w/probably $20 fees. Hard not to make it happen.

Isn’t that face value for home games at GMU?

When we are good and Mason is not - they always play us tough, and as shown the last few years - we lose. So I expect the reverse to be true this year. Mason is better, and we are not - but we will play this game close. Walz will dominate the boards. Our defense will be gritty. And we will get some timely offense from Neskovic and Apostolos.

UR 65 Mason 61
