American @ George Mason

Current Records: American 4-7; George Mason 6-5

What to Know

The American Eagles will square off against the George Mason Patriots on the road at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday at EagleBank Arena. These two teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous games.

American didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup with the Mount St. Mary's Mountaineers last week, but they still walked away with a 72-66 win.

Meanwhile, the Patriots strolled past the Georgia Bulldogs with points to spare this past Saturday, taking the contest 80-67. Forward Josh Oduro and guard D'Shawn Schwartz were among the main playmakers for GMU as the former dropped a double-double on 20 points and 11 rebounds in addition to six blocks and the latter shot 5-for-10 from beyond the arc and finished with 21 points and five boards.

The Eagles are the clear underdogs, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. They are currently two-for-two against the spread in their most recent games, however, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

American is now 4-7 while GMU sits at 6-5. American is 2-1 after wins this season, the Patriots 4-1.
