Betting Trends for vs
Maryland is clearly the better team as they rank inside the top 10, but George Mason has kicked off the season with a 5-0 record and they have an abundance of talent that could compete with the top teams. The backcourt for George Mason has been amazing thus far as Jordan Miller (15.4 PPG), Jamal Hartwell II (13.2 PPG), and Javon Greene (13 PPG) are all contributing at a high-rate, and if they are able to find their stroke against Maryland, they will be in this game. The one downfall on George Mason is their lack of size, and that plays into the hands of Maryland as 6’10 forward Jalen Smith is one of the top in the nation. Jalen Smith will control the game like he usually does, but I expect George Mason to do enough to keep this game respectable. Final Score Prediction, Maryland Terrapins win but fail to cover ATS 77-65.
