I guess I take some solace in the fact that the A-10 teams Mason have played so far are a combined 13-3 in conference.

St. Louis is beatable for GMU though the game is on the road. Hopefully they play offensively the way they did at Davidson and manage to keep St. Louis in the 60's or low 70's.

This is the sacrificial lamb game the A-10 offered up to NBCSN to air opposite the playoffs. All the "better" TV games are Saturday before the NFL starts.

I say we win by 4.

I haven't been close on any of my predictions to date so now is not the time for me to hit Vegas. Winless streak on the road continues. St. Louis 75 - Mason 64.

I predict we will play them tough but get blown out at the end.

We have played them well out in St. Louis, even when they were good. Looking at last year's box score, it must have been our best game as it was a thorough blow out. I remember watching it on tv waiting for everything to go south in the second half, but it didn't happen.

Hoping their win over GW was a fluke.

Sagarin has us as 2.9 underdogs.

I thought our boys played pretty well with St. Joe's on Wednesday. I mean if many of the travelling violations were turned into points then we would have been right with them to the end.

I have confidence that Mason is not the dregs of the A10. I believe we will notch at least six Ws before March swings around.

Cant wait for renforcements to arrive next year. Plus Revallo will be a rs freshman, Dixon a year under his belt and with the current Shevon, only can go up at the 5.

I hope you're correct, but I'm not that optimistic. There are 12 games between now and Mar 1 and according to rpiforecast we're double digit underdogs in 4 of them, including 2 of those that are home games (vcu & Dayton).

And we're only given a 40% or better chance of winning 4 of those 12 games, with Sunday's game being the first of those 4. So winning 6 of the next 12 will require beating the odds.

We have to face that we are certainly bottom 3 in the A-10. I think we can grab 2 more wins this season and be happy with our improvements and concentrate on next year and the development of the freshman and Jalen that we already have. Interested to see Paulsen's first real recruiting class as I have been tremendously impressed with Livingston and Grayer already.
