The George Mason Patriots and the George Washington Colonials duke it out at EagleBank Arena on Wednesday evening.

The George Washington Colonials will be out to build on their 78-70 win over Rhode Island last time out. James Bishop leads the Colonials in scoring and assists with 20.5 PPG and 5.5 RPG while Jamison Battle has 19.1 PPG with 5.6 RPG and Ricky Lindo Jr. has 12.3 PPG and 10 RPG in three games for GW this season. Matthew Moyer has 10.1 PPG and 9.6 RPG to cap off the group of double-digit scorers up to this point in the season for the Colonials. As a team, George Washington is averaging 72.8 PPG on 46% shooting from the field, 34.3% from 3-point range and 71.1% from the foul line while allowing 73.5 PPG on 45.1% shooting from the field and 33.7% from 3-point land this season.

The George Mason Patriots will look to add to a 79-76 overtime win over VCU last time out. Jordan Miller leads George Mason in scoring with 15.9 PPG along with 5.4 RPG While Javon Greene has 11.4 PPG with 5.1 RPG and Josh Oduro has 10.8 PPG with a team-high 6.1 RPG to lead GMU on the glass this season. Tyler Kolek also has 10.6 PPG to make up the group of double-digit scorers for the Patriots up to this point in the season. As a team, George Mason is averaging 70.9 PPG on 43% shooting from the field, 32.4% from 3-point range and 62.8% from the foul line while allowing 70.4 PPG on 43.5% from the field and 34.8% from the 3-point line this season.

George Washington is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games while the under is 12-4 in their last 16 games following a win. George Mason is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 Wednesday games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400 while the under is 6-1 in their last 7 games as a favorite. The underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings between these two teams.

I get why George Mason is favored here, as the Patriots have had more success at home than the Colonials have had on the road. However, The Patriots are also having issues covering the bigger numbers at home against teams not named Fordham. GW is coming off of their huge win over Rhode Islander and while I’m not sure they replicate the success here. I think we’re getting a ton of points in a game that feels like a 4 point game at most. Give me GW and the points here.
