Saint Louis Billikens vs. George Mason Patriots Prediction

I’m on Saint Louis here. I just think that even for George Mason on senior day, the Billikens are far ahead of where the Patriots are and this is just a matchup with two teams headed in different directions as we enter the conference tournament. The top 6 in the A-10 are locked in, so for me this boils down to who is the better team and it’s Saint Louis by a fair margin. Give me the Billikens.
