ANALYSIS:
George Mason is a fairly decent basketball team that, while likely better than average, isn't quite good enough to crack any top-25 rankings this year. Haslametrics has them ranked 131st overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 20-14. They are also ranked by this site as the #9 team (out of 14) in the A-10 (average ranking 124.5).

Based on the data, George Mason will likely find more success on offense than on defense. Scoring about 104 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #127 slot in the rankings for offensive efficiency. George Mason converts a fair amount of its free throws. Making 74.8% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked 52nd nationally in free throw percentage. George Mason will also shoot more mid-range jumpers than most teams. The club is ranked 54th in ratio of mid-range attempts to total field goal attempts. That being said, though they shoot a fair amount of in-between jumpers, they don't really make a whole lot of them and convert just 34.8% of their mid-range attempts vs. AO.

George Mason plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 162nd nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 102 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. George Mason does a fantastic job to prevent opposing teams from capitalizing on chances from offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 4.7% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 15th in the NCAA), and with a rating of 12.68, they're 46th in potential points allowed off of the offensive glass as well. George Mason also makes a point to avoid fouls and prevent opponents from getting to the free throw line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 24.49 vs. AO, they are currently rated 66th in the country in that category. If George Mason does exhibit a noticeable weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's propensity to allow too many shot attempts per trip. The squad has a rating of 86.41 in defensive field goal attempt rate vs. AO, which ranks 21st-worst in college basketball.

George Mason has definitely not been as efficient as of late compared to earlier in the season and, consequently, the team is nationally ranked 333rd in positive momentum. When playing on the road, George Mason has played their best basketball this season. The team is currently ranked 14th in the country in the away-from-home metric our site tracks.
