What to Know

The George Mason Patriots lost both of their matches to the Fordham Rams last season on scores of 47-50 and 49-54, so they're hoping to turn the tables this season. The Patriots and Fordham will face off in an Atlantic 10 battle at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday at EagleBank Arena. Both teams looked pretty sloppy on the offensive side of the ball the last time they faced off, scoring just 103 points combined.

GMU didn't have too much breathing room in their contest with the Dayton Flyers this past Saturday, but they still walked away with a 74-69 victory. GMU can attribute much of their success to guard Ronald Polite III, who had 22 points and six assists.

Speaking of close games: Fordham sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 74-71 win over the Rhode Island Rams this past Saturday. Center Rostyslav Novitskyi (14 points), guard Darius Quisenberry (14 points), and forward Khalid Moore (14 points) were the top scorers for Fordham.

The Patriots are the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with GMU, who are 15-14 against the spread.

GMU is now 17-12 while Fordham sits at 23-6. GMU is 9-7 after wins this year, Fordham 17-5.
