ANALYSIS:
If you see George Mason on the schedule, you will likely get one of the average to below-average teams in college hoops. Carrying a record of 17-15, they are currently rated #191 overall (out of 353) in All-Play Percentage this season. They are also ranked by this site as the #10 team (out of 14) in the A-10 (average ranking 135.3).

If there is a strength for George Mason this year, it's probably on the defensive end of the court. The team is rated 129th in defensive efficiency, allowing fewer than 98 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Although they have a capable defense, George Mason doesn't stand out in any one particular area on that end of the court, and they fall outside the top-100 in every one of the defensive categories we take into consideration for this analysis. If George Mason does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's difficulties stopping opponents from converting from the inside. AO will convert 63.7% of their near-proximity field goal attempts, and the team ranks 47th-worst in that category as a result.

George Mason doesn't perform as well offensively as they do defensively. The team is ranked 220th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 96 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. George Mason won't enter the conversation if you're looking to list the best three-point shooting teams in the country. They are ranked 308th in three-point field goal percentage nationally and make just 30.8% of their attempts from long vs. AO.

George Mason is one of the more consistent teams in Division I (presently ranked 43rd in consistency), so forecasting the outcomes of their future contests tends to be easier than the norm. On the road, George Mason performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 32nd in our away-from-home metric.
