George Mason Patriots vs Maryland Terrapins Point Spread Picks

George Mason is once again a power in the Colonial, with a win over Virginia of the ACC already. The Patriots are on a 4-1 ATS run and 4-1 ATS in their last five non-conference games. They play defense as well as anyone, allowing 58, 45 and 52 points the last three games (all wins). Maryland has had an easy schedule since opening with a loss to Kentucky. This is a young Maryland team and Mark Turgeon’s roster features four freshmen and three sophomores, many of whom have little experience in the rigors of college hoops and the ACC.  They won by only nine against a weak Lafayette team, as Lafayette stayed relatively close by going 15 for 32 from three point range. The Terrapins are 1-4 ATS in their last five against the Colonial Athletic Association and 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a win. Play George Mason.
