Saint Joseph’s vs. George Mason key storylines
Winners of 10 straight, George Mason heads into Saturday’s matchup firing on all cylinders as one of the nation’s hottest teams. Tony Skinn’s squad sits atop the A-10 standings with a sterling 11-1 conference record as they eye the program’s first regular-season title and NCAA Tournament appearance since 2011. Among those fueling the Patriots’ success is Darius Maddox, the senior guard averaging a team-leading 14.0 PPG on 40% shooting. Elsewhere, senior forward Jalen Haynes looms as the team’s primary threat on the glass, with 7+ rebounds in his last three games. He’s one of the main reasons George Mason boasts the A-10’s best defense, a unit that currently limits opponents to a conference-low 62.3 PPG.
Saint Joseph’s (15-9 overall) aims to accomplish something only one team (Central Michigan) has done so far this year – beat George Mason at home. To make a dent in the Patriots’ 14-1 home record, Billy Lange’s Hawks will rely on a tremendous backcourt, led by senior guard Erik Reynolds II. He became the second player (behind former NBA veteran Jameer Nelson) in program history to record 2,000 career points in Saint Joseph’s recent win over La Salle. Sophomore guard Xzayvier Brown has also emerged as a force within the Hawks’ offense as Reynolds’ backcourt mate, with back-to-back 20+ point outings and a knack for dishing assists (team-leading 4.8 per game). With a win, the Hawks would pick up their third-straight win and improve to 7-5 in A-10 play.
