Mason Madness was awesome.

The dunks, the excitement, the comradery of the team, all of it was awesome.

This Saturday night at EagleBank Arena, the Towson Tigers will not care. There will be no flashing lights, no scorers’ table consisting of Doc Nix and Darrell Green, no backdrop reflecting on 50 years of George Mason Basketball. All that will matter will be the 14 players and coach suiting up for the Patriots.

Starting the second season under Dave Paulsen, the team gets their former CAA foe, Towson. A squad that embarrassed Mason on the road 75-54 last season. It is a new year though for the Patriots, it will be a team consisting of over half of Paulsen’s recruits. Consistently there will be four guards on the court without a true center. Ball movement will be quick, the team will be higher scoring, and there will be a team first ideology on the court, something fans have not seen since the Jim Larranaga days.

From their 11-21 campaign in 2015-16, Otis Livingston II led the team as a freshman starting in all 32 games at the point guard position. He had the most minutes (34.3), points (11.9), assists (3.6), three pointers (46) and total steals (23). Joining him in the starting lineup will be two other starters from last season, senior Marquise Moore (11.4 ppg) and sophomore Jaire Grayer (9.5 ppg). Finishing out the lineup is sophomore DeAndre Abram (6.6 ppg) and the lone forward, redshirt senior Jalen Jenkins (5.5 rpg).

The three sophomore guards mentioned averaged over 20 minutes per game last year as freshmen. Of them, Livingston was named a team captain this season along with Jenkins.

Like the Patriots, Towson is returning three starters, all of which were recognized All-CAA last season, seniors John Davis and Arnaud William Adala Moto and junior guard Mike Morsell. The trio all averaged over 10 ppg last year with Morsell at the point. The team is physical in the paint and uses their height to their advantage. Towson’s shortest projected starter is 6’5”.

While the interior of their game is their strength, the Tigers defense can cover the perimeter. Against Mason last season, Towson held them to 3-13 shooting from long range.

The loss of Shevon Thompson will be exploited this game as Towson will rack up the rebounds and second chance opportunities. It will be a great chance to see how the Patriots will be successful with increased ball movement in order to break through the length of the Tigers.

The challenge this season will be to improve on last year without one of Mason’s best big man. Transitioning to the guard heavy system will continue to be a work in progress as the year goes on. A first measure of improvement though is simple in the first game, just beat Towson.

Prediction: Mason 72            Towson 68

  6. You’ll also find more than 67 gaming tables, a 12-table poker room, and the Pulse
    electronic gaming area to enjoy. Grand Villa Casino’s 1,300+ slots beat the libraries at some online casinos available in British Columbia.
    They have a few carnival games (like 3 card poker), but not the traditional table games.
    The casino itself has 1,100 slots, electronic blackjack
    and roulette. The poker room’s 19 tables are a mixture of
    real poker tables and carnival games like 1 card poker and Ultimate Texas Hold’em.

    Alternatively you can practice different games at online casinos in Australia.
    Be sure to ask for a player’s card when you first arrive, then use it to track all your
    slot and pokies play; most casinos offer generous discounts
    and even free rooms to players who give them some action!

  7. Your portfolio gets automatically rebalanced whenever there is a 5% drift in the price of
    any security. The pros include investment in ESG
    securities and 24/7 customer support. It also keeps about 30% of your portfolio in cash that earns interest.
    And you get additional financial advice for a premium.

    And to make this experience truly legendary,
    we wrapped it all in the iconic Caesars brand, infused with the
    legacy and grandeur of ancient Rome. We combined cutting-edge technology, captivating design, and true casino expertise
    straight from the gaming floor. Due to opposition, the proposed development was rejected by the community advisory committee in September 2025.

    Caesars was one of multiple bidders attempting to open a casino in New
    York City with their proposed Caesar’s Palace Times Square proposal.

    Though I guess it’s a consequence for me not having a better datastore handler lol.
    I really wish I knew this before I loaded and accidentally saved
    over my data in my own game in studio. I was able to join a
    game but was stuck on the loading screen probably held up by datastores At the time of
    writing, there has been no public acknowledgement or
    status update from Roblox engineers despite the scale and severity of the outage.
    As a result, live games are actively losing data or are
    unable to persist progress, creating a serious risk
    of permanent data loss for users. We’re proud to bring the world of Vegas to players everywhere, combining craftsmanship, creativity, and passion to make every moment on the
    reels something special.

  8. The proceedings remain sealed indefinitely until the
    Senate votes to remove the injunction of secrecy.
    If the vote is tied, the vice president, if present, is entitled to cast a tie-breaking
    vote. The vote is closed at the discretion of the presiding
    officer, but must remain open for a minimum of 15
    minutes. The request may be granted only if it is seconded by one-fifth
    of the senators present. The Senate filibuster is frequently debated as the Constitution specifies a simple majority threshold to pass legislation, and some critics feel the de facto three-fifths threshold for general legislation prevents
    beneficial laws from passing. Under certain circumstances, the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 provides for a process called “reconciliation”
    by which Congress can pass bills related to the budget without
    those bills being subject to a filibuster.
    Generally, each party honors the preferences of individual senators, giving priority based
    on seniority. In 1973, the House adopted a rule that all committee sessions should be open unless
    a majority on the committee voted for a closed session. When a recorded
    vote is held, the clerk calls the roll of the Senate in alphabetical order; senators respond when their name is called.
    A senator, however, may challenge the presiding officer’s assessment and request a recorded
    vote.
    For each state, this means that after two elections to the
    Senate, during one election no one will be elected to the Senate.
    Also, only part of the Senate runs for election during elections.
    To be a senator, a person has to be 30 years old or older,
    and has to be a citizen of the United States for
    9 years or more. The Vice President of the United States is in charge of the Senate, does little except when there is a tie vote or a special event.
    Senators serve six years at a time, and one-third of them are picked every two years.
    The United States Senate is the upper house of the United States Congress, which is a small group of elected people who decide the laws of the country.
