The Belmont Bruins have been lousy defensively during this 3-game losing streak, and they just got cooked last night by the Tarleton Texans as a favorite. The George Mason Patriots have had a difficult schedule for the most part, with games against Auburn and Boston College, and they’ve shown promise offensively. I can’t get behind Belmont with the lack of effort defensively. Give me George Mason.
