#669 George Mason +7.5 over Saint Louis 3:00 PM CT

George Mason has won the past two meetings with Saint Louis including a road win last February. Saint Louis is only a game up on VCU in the A-10 standings but has the #1 spot locked up having swept VCU on the season. Next week will be more meaningful for Saint Louis, though Saint Louis should be in the NCAA Tournament no matter what happens today or next week as this regular season finale should mean more for George Mason. The Patriots quietly have a 22-8 record but the late season slide keeps the home finale underdog spread significant. The losses late in the season for George Mason have mostly come on the road with only two home losses all season for the Patriots. George Mason plays a very deliberate pace and takes great care of the ball for an appealing home underdog profile. Saint Louis is the clear top team in the A-10 but the Billikens have lost their past two road games against Rhode Island and Dayton teams with similar rankings to Saint Louis. The best three A-10 road wins for Saint Louis all came by single-digit final margins as well. George Mason was a nine-point favorite in a 12-point win the last time Saint Louis visited Fairfax and this could be a tougher game than Saint Louis would like to have following back-to-back comfortable wins at home.
