How could this matchup not be a tedious affair with George Mason ranking in the top ten nationally in scoring defense at 61.8 ppg? Tony Skinn has the Patriots on a nine-game win streak and atop the A-10, and unders are now 8-4 across the last 12 GMU games as well. Meanwhile, if it's Saint Louis it means taking a look at the under as the Bills have now landed that way in 12 of their last 13 and 15 of their last 17 going back to early December. Josh Schertz has slowed the pace from his Indiana State days without much depth off his bench to spell top scorers Robbie Avila, Isaiah Swope, and Gibson Jimmerson (all 16 ppg+). Play George Mason-Saint Louis Under.

The defensive-minded Patriots have won nine straight, 17 of 19, and are coming off a game in which they shot 58.2 percent. They are 4-1 SU on the road in Atlantic 10 play. George Mason holds opponents to 36.9 percent from the field, the third-best mark in the nation. The Billikens have dropped three of their last five and could be without Gibson Jimerson (17.4 ppg), who is dealing with an ankle injury.

George Mason will be put to the test tonight as they go into their third road game over their last four outings. They will also be in a one day rest disadvantage against Saint Louis who played on Friday. Yet, throughout the Patriots nine game winning streak they have had a knack of closing out games. They’ve had six wins by seven points or fewer including two in overtime. Take George Mason
