PLAYING FROM IN FRONT
Tuesday marked GW's fourth wire-to-wire win of its five A-10 victories (and seventh overall), leading for all but 1:58 against URI. In its five A-10 wins, GW has led for 189:36 (94.8%) of the 200 minutes and trailed for only 2:54 (1.45%), all vs. La Salle on 1/3. Conversely in the seven losses, GW has been behind for 158:14 of 280 minutes (56.5%) and only led for 102:07 (36.5%).
Over the course of the season, GW has been in the lead for 87.7% (491:30 of 560 minutes) of the time in its 14 wins. GW holds a 12-5 record when scoring first, is 14-2 when leading at the half and 14-1 when leading with five minutes remaining.
RECORD-SETTING OFFENSE
GW is averaging 83.6 ppg, the third-highest mark in school history and the best since putting up 84.6 ppg in 1968-69. The Buff & Blue are 2.3 ppg off the school record of 85.9 ppg set back in 1952-53 and are on pace to average over 80.0 ppg for the first time since 1999-00 (80.6).
GW is third in the A-10 and 41st nationally in scoring offense, and has shown an improvement of 14.8 ppg compared to last year's group that ranked 195th nationally with 68.8 ppg.
A LOOK AT THE PATRIOTS
George Mason comes to D.C., with a 21-4 overall mark and a 9-3 A-10 record, sitting in third in the league standings following an 82-70 loss to Richmond on Tuesday. Mason started the season 18-1 (6-0) following its win over GW on Jan. 19, but has since gone 3-3 in its last six outings.
Presbyterian transfer Kory Mincy continues to lead the Patriots with 15.6 ppg, but has been held to nine points total in the last two games on 4-for-18 shooting. Riley Allenspach had a career day with 18 points and 12 rebounds against GW in the first matchup and is second on the team with 13.4 ppg while registering a team-high 6.1 rpg.
During league play, George Mason ranks among the top 3 in defensive efficiency, effective field goal defense, 2-point defense and 3-point defense.
