The George Mason patriots will be looking to extend their six game winning streak on Wednesday night when they head north through Maryland and into Delaware to face the Blue Hens. The game starts at 7 pm.
Mason have won 11 of their last 12 games and should be favored pretty heavily over Delaware which has had it's fair share of struggles this season. They sit at just 9-12 and have lost five of the last seven they've played in the month of January.
George Mason has a difficult time scoring the basketball, but the Blue Hens make them look like the mid-2000's Phoenix Suns. They rank 202nd in the Nation in points per game with just 66.9 points per game. They are, somewhat surprisingly, one of the better rebounding teams in the Nation, so it will be important for the Patriots to keep them off the glass.
