Do you think Pipkins would still be out injured?

Hard to tell, and you know this won't be known till game time.

I am concerned about our defense. Over our last 3 games we've given up 79, 81, and 76 points respectively. If we get back to executing the way we were earlier we'll be okay.

If Pipkins is out GMU 70 - UMass 60. If Pipkins plays Umass pulls the upset 78 - GMU 70.

Don't turn the ball over and shoot average from 3 and we will win. same as every game.

Agreed. UMass might actually have a guy worth doubling, but I still don't like it generally.

Us - 77
Them - 70

According to the Umass boards. It looks like Pipkins will be out for the game.

8 point favorite, 138 over/under (Vegas Insider).

Caps and Mason can’t seem to play well at the same time. Caps looked like doo-doo last night, so that means we win this one handily.

This is the kind of insight we need here.

If Mason played well every time a DC team played like shit, we'd be Duke.

Pipkins is out, per Matt McCall. Which means some walk-on is probably gonna go 6-8 from deep against us.

Didn’t that literally happen last year with UMass?
