George Mason vs. George Washington Prediction
I’m on George Washington and the points here. I just think that this is a game that comes down to which team takes the final shot and especially with this number now sliding into the two-possession range, I can get there with GW. A lot of GW’s recent struggles have come on the road, but the Revolutionaries are still an 11-1 team at home this season. George Mason has been playing lights out as of late, but I think the Revolutionaries can hang with them here and I think this one comes down to the wire. Give me George Washington and the points in this one.
