George Mason is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall. Nevada is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog while the over is 8-2 in their last 10 games overall.

I get why you’d look at both sides here as Nevada has to be better that what we’ve seen and George Mason looked sluggish early but looked good in rallying despite the loss to Washington. Instead, I’m going to side with the over as points have had no issue coming in bunches when these two are on the floor and I expect Tuesday to e no different.
