Ohio vs George Mason Prediction 

George Mason comes into this matchup with a 5-0 record to start the season and they have allowed just 62 points or fewer in four of those five wins. The Patriots are shooting 48% from the field, but they haven’t been a very high scoring team. Ohio has lost three straight games and they are shooting 45% from the field. The Bobcats have allowed at least 89 points in three of their five games and they are only averaging 32.2 rebounds per game. I think George Mason’s defense will be the difference and I like them here.
