ANALYSIS:
As an average to slightly above-average foe, George Mason should probably not be discounted by opponents this year. They have a record of 13-9 and are ranked 147th overall (out of 357) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. Of the 14 schools in the A-10 (average ranking 128.8), they're currently ranked as our #10 team in the conference.

George Mason has a fairly effective defensive attack. Occupying the #85 slot in our defensive efficiency ratings, they will allow about 95 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. George Mason does a super job to deny opponents offensive rebounds and second chances. They have a rating of 9.90 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (ranked 16th in the country). George Mason also does a pretty solid job providing themselves chances to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked 50th in potential points off of breakaway steals vs. AO with a rating of 13.46.

The offense for George Mason, on the other hand, isn't nearly as efficient as the defense is. The team is ranked 216th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 97 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. George Mason is not one of the better teams when it comes to sinking foul shots. Converting just 64.5% of their attempts, the squad is ranked #331 overall in free throw percentage. If George Mason does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's ability to convert efficiently from the inside. The squad makes 66.2% of their near-proximity field goal attempts vs. AO, which ranks 17th in the country.

George Mason has been playing better basketball in their most recent outings, as evidenced by the team's #27 ranking in positive momentum.
