Spread: Mason 14.5 point favorite
George Mason plays its first game of the NIT Tip-off tonight at 9:30 pm against FIU in Blacksburg, VA. FIU is coached by hall of famer Isiah Thomas and this will be their first game of the season. They return their leading scorer from last season but only two starters. The Patriots should be able to take advantage in the front court as FIU doesn't have much experience there. Mason's back court needs to limit the turnovers tonight and do a better job of preventing FIU's guards from penetrating the lane.
This tournament could really show us what this Patriots team is all about, however they need to play much better than they did on Friday night. Scoring didn't seem to be an issue for the Patriots and it is almost crazy to think they got to 92 points while only making two three-pointers. The uptempo offense wasn't running perfect, but it was the first game of the season. If Mason plays like they did in that second half against Rhode Island you have to like their chances against FIU tonight and most likely Virginia Tech next.
