George Washington Revolutionaries Betting Preview

The Revolutionaries opened the year on a pretty good run, but struggled in January and February before pulling things together recently. George Washington opened the year on a 7-1 run with a lone loss to Kansas State. After a loss to American, the Revolutionaries won six of the next seven games versus Old Dominion, Army, Lafayette, UVA Wise, Dayton and Rhode Island. Next came a three-game losing streak versus Duquesne, George Mason and UMass. A tough stretch of 5-5 ball followed as George Washington won versus Saint Louis, Richmond, St. Bonaventure, Davidson and UMass among losses to La Salle, George Mason, VCU, Saint Joseph’s and Loyola Chicago otherwise. Since then the Revolutionaries have beaten La Salle and Fordham (twice) during a three-game win streak to bring their record to 21-11 overall.

On Thursday versus Fordham, the Revolutionaries opened on a 43-35 edge in the first half. George Washington scored 45 more points from there in an 88-81 win. Leading scorer Trey Autry finished with 23 points, four rebounds and three assists.

George Mason Patriots Betting Preview

Over on the George Mason side, they sputtered a bit in their opening run and haven’t been too sharp lately but otherwise it’s been a very solid season. The Patriots went a tepid 7-4 over their first 11 games this year, then beat Penn, Mount St. Mary’s and Davidson before another loss to Rhode Island. Wins over Richmond, UMass, Dayton, George Washington, St. Bonaventure, Loyola, Davidson, George Washington, Rhode Island, Saint Louis and Saint Joseph’s came next, but the next three were a 1-2 run. Those losses were versus VCU and Duquesne with a win over Fordham in between. Since then however, it’s been consecutive wins over La Salle and Richmond. That gives the Patriots a 24-7 overall run across 31 games this year so far.

In the Richmond road matchup on Saturday, the Patriots held a 32-24 deficit in the first half. George Mason woke up in the second half on a 40-28 run and took the comeback victory 64-60 in the end. Topping the scorers was Darius Maddox with 18 points and three rebounds. Jalen Haynes added 13 points with eight rebounds in 22 minutes, and Brayden O’Connor chipped in with nine points, two assists and one rebound. Tops off the bench in the victory was Giovanni Emejuru with eight points and five rebounds.

George Mason vs George Washington Prediction

I’ll lean toward George Mason, but you could call this one either way. It should be close. Regardless, the Patriots need a better effort than they got in their matchup with a struggling Richmond team. George Mason shot just 40 percent from the field with 12 turnovers in that one, and hit a tepid 14-of-22 (63.6 percent) from the line. The good news is that the Patriots owned the boards 36-27 and held the Spiders to just 39.2 percent from the field. George Mason has been below 70 points in three straight games though, so it’d be nice to see them eclipse that threshold in this tournament matchup.

These teams have met twice already with George Mason taking both. The Patriots won 53-50 in the road game February 5 and 80-77 in double-overtime at home on January 18. During the most recent matchup, neither team shot well (both under 40.5 percent) and it was a sloppy overall game with George Mason committing 15 of the 33 total turnovers. The Patriots’ foul shooting was pretty ugly as well at 10-of-18 (55.6 percent). Needless to say, there’s a lot to fix in this tournament matchup. I’m leaning slightly toward the Patriots but it’s a coin flip.
