The leading rebounder for George Mason is F AJ Wilson, who earns 7.4 rebounds per game.

Saint Louis is 15-12-1 against the spread this season and 5-4-1 against the spread in their last ten games. Saint Louis is also 4-5 against the spread on the road so far this season. George Mason is 13-15-1 against the spread this season and 3-6-1 against the spread in their last ten games. George Mason is also 7-9 against the spread at home so far this season.

I will admit, I am a bit puzzled at this line. Not only is Saint Louis the better team, but they have also been the hotter team. Winners of four of their last, while George Mason has done the opposite, losing four of five. I will take Saint Louis and lay a very minimal amount of points, as I think they should be favorited by at least five.
