Who's Playing

George Mason @ Washington

Current Records: George Mason 4-1; Washington 2-4

What to Know

The Washington Huskies will square off against the George Mason Patriots at 9:30 p.m. ET on Monday at Sanford Pentagon.

Washington was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap last Thursday as they fell 77-72 to the Wyoming Cowboys. One thing holding the Huskies back was the mediocre play of guard PJ Fuller, who did not have his best game: he finished with only nine points on 4-for-12 shooting in his 25 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, GMU was close but no cigar this past Friday as they fell 67-64 to the James Madison Dukes.

Washington is expected to lose this next one by 4.5. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the team has let down bettors in all their past four games.

With both teams hitting sour notes in their previous games, they will no doubt be looking to produce a better outcome in this one. Check back to see which squad is able to work their way into the win column.
