Veteran Hawks favored over Patriots in upcoming game based on statistical analysis

I am giving the edge to the veteran Hawks in the upcoming game against the Patriots. George Mason has been fortunate during their current winning streak, which includes three consecutive overtime victories leading up to this matchup. Offensively, they have been mediocre, ranking 12th in scoring within the conference. While they are fourth in 3-point shooting, they are only 13th in 3-point field goals made per game. On the other hand, the Hawks rank 9th in 3-point shooting but second in the A-10 in 3-point field goals made per game. Typically, the Patriots excel in games due to their strong defense and rebounding. However, the Hawks can compete with them on the glass and limit their second-chance opportunities in this particular game. Additionally, the Hawks have a respectable turnover margin, placing fifth in the conference compared to the Patriots' third ranking. Despite George Mason's streak of close games, the Hawks have the potential to disrupt it and emerge victorious. Therefore, it is recommended to support the Hawks in this matchup.
