Have been a fan of this game on the schedule. However, I was anticipating being 3-2 and not 1-4.
3 of George Mason's wins are against New Hampshire, Catawba, and Jacksonville Its other wins are Winthrop and Wofford. I think we have more quality win in Illinois State. So, I'm hopeful this is closer than it looks right now on paper.
George Mason starts 4 guards, but 2 are 6'5 and another is 6'6. This will likely be problematic for Pavs/Sheldon/Elliot combo. Hopefully we see more of Kelly.
Its center is 6'11. Malik Presley and Jahari Long are the long P5 castoffs. The rest of its core rotation are from MM.
Nick Ellington off the bench is a surprise. I watched him a year ago with Murray State at UIC. He's a beast in the paint.
As Shab's said, we'll need some magic for this one.
