Game outlook

George Mason is on the road playing Old Dominion at the Chartway Arena stadium on Wednesday, 12/21/2022 @ 4:00pm EST. Old Dominion -2 was the opening favorite and line hasn't moved.

Out of the Atlantic 10, George Mason will take on Old Dominion, out of the Sun Belt Conference, on the road. As they prepare to host George Mason in their last non-conference game before conference play begins, the Monarchs are on a three-game winning streak of their own. With a 7-4 record, George Mason will have one more non-conference game before A-10 play begins. Opening tap is scheduled for 4:00pm EST.

Pride in being a Patriot

Having started the season 2-4, the George Mason Patriots have won five straight games and are now three games over .500. On Wednesday afternoon, the Patriots hope to extend that streak against the Monarchs. On Saturday, George Mason defeated Tulane, 62-56, in the Legends of Basketball Showcase in Chicago, IL. With Victor Bailey Jr. leading the way with 19 points, including 5-of-9 from beyond the arc, the Patriots defense held Tulane's high scoring offense to just 34% shooting from the floor. In the second half, George Mason outscored Tulane by eight points after trailing by two at the half. With 12 points, six rebounds, and two blocks, Josh Oduro surpassed the 1,000-point plateau in his Patriots career. With a 40-31 edge on the glass, George Mason also dished out 20 assists, a season high.

At home, play like a king or queen

In this matchup, Old Dominion and George Mason both have 7-4 records. Like George Mason, the Monarchs have also won three straight games heading into Wednesday's game. Old Dominion has been helped by a 6-0 home record, which improved with Saturday night's 44-43 win over Gardner-Webb. Imo Essien's 3-point field goal with 41 seconds left gave the Monarchs the lead. A few harrowing possessions down the stretch sealed the win for the Monarchs. Before ODU turned the ball over with 22 seconds left, a blocking call against them was overturned to give them the ball back. ODU missed two free throws after another Gardner-Webb charging call before a missed Gardner-Webb jump shot mercifully ended the game.

As one of the nation's top basketball defense teams, the Monarchs come into this game in good shape. Their opponents will have to make shots to beat them, since they cannot beat themselves. They specialize in the three-ball and have won five straight games. ODU's defense is strong enough to stop the Patriots' perimeter shooter. Because they don't turnover the ball, they won't be taken advantage of by George Mason's tendency to create turnovers with their defense. We can expect a slow-paced, defensive game between two teams that can defend well. The ODU is likely to achieve a low score by forcing more errors.

George Mason Highlights

With a power ranking of 116, George Mason is ranked #232 in offense (scoring an average of 70.00 per game), #178 in defense (allowing an average of 68.30 points to be scored against them per game) and are 7-4 (5-6 ATS) this season.

Old Dominion Highlights
