George Mason vs. St. Bonaventure Prediction

I’m on the Patriots and the points here. At a certain point, I think we’ll hit buy-low territory on the Bonnies, but I’m just not there yet. George Mason’s playing really well right now and is hard to step in front of. The Bonnies always felt like a team that I was kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop with and now we’re seeing it happen before our eyes and I think it’s just another spot here where the Bonnies stumble and the Patriots take advantage. Give me George Mason and the points.
