George Mason Patriots vs. George Washington Revolutionaries

Our confidence in George Mason (21-4) is bolstered by the confirmed absence of George Washington’s star center Rafael Castro (15.9 PPG, 8.9 RPG), who has missed the last four games due to injury. While the Patriots are coming off a road loss to Richmond, they maintain a five-game head-to-head win streak over the Revolutionaries and boast the nation's 25th-ranked scoring defense (66.5 PA/G). This defensive elite already neutralized GW’s offense in a 69-64 victory earlier this season, and they should dominate a GW squad that has dropped six of its last eight contests.
