On Saturday George Mason will play in their most significant regular season game since 2011. Welcoming Rhode Island to EagleBank arena, the two teams will be battling for one of the Atlantic 10’s coveted double-bye seeds.

For the first time during their tenure in the Atlantic 10, Mason is competing against some of the conference’s best.

Consistently the team is getting quality play from five players a night. Marquise Moore is continuing to average a double-double on the season, the only player in the conference to do so; Jalen Jenkins has stayed out of foul trouble; Otis Livingston II is shooting the best he has all season; and Jaire Grayer always finds a way to contribute, whether its outside the paint, driving, or rebounding (reminder he does lead the team in blocked shots).

And that is just the regular starters.

Some nights its Kamari Newman, 12 points (2-3 3pt range) vs. Richmond, sometimes it is Ian Boyd, averaging 5.4 points a game as a bench player, and then there is Justin Kier who has scored five points or more in each of the past six contests. Not to mention Boyd and Kier have been defensive studs this season.

Either way, George Mason (18-8, 8-5) has won four games in a row. They have done it through a team first mentality that was the focus at the beginning of the season. All players are finding ways to be productive offensively and the team has defensively found ways to shut down opponents offenses.

LAST GAME: GEORGE MASON SHUTS DOWN RICHMOND IN CLOSING MINUTES

With Rhode Island (16-9, 8-5) though, they are a tricky team to scout. At the beginning of the season, they were projected to be one of the conference’s front runners and finally make the NCAA tournament after an 18 year hiatus.

Having E.C. Matthews (14.6 points a game) return from a devastating injury was a majority of the hype, including one of the most talented starting-fives in the conference. Despite the talent, and one of the more underrated coaches in the country, Dan Hurley, things have not come together season.

Hassan Martin (3.0 blocks a game) is in contention for the league’s defensive player of the year. In addition, he scores 14 points a night. Jared Terrell (12.9 points a game) has blossomed into one of the elite point guards in the league and and not to mention the team has the cousin of Allen Iverson, Kuran Iverson in their lineup.

This will be a game that the Patriots will want to be aggressive on their individual matchups. The Rams are a team that do not play a physical, pound-for-pound style, but rely on ball movement finding the open shooter. By doing so, the team relies on each shooter to have a consistent night.

Mason will have to value each possession. With the Rams size and skill, should shut down the Patriots offensive rebounding abilities. The Rams are also the third best defensive shooting team in the league.

Defensively, the most intriguing matchups will be Moore on Matthews, Livingston on Terrell, Jenkins on Iverson, Grayer on Martin, and Kier on Jeff Downtin.

Coming off a terrible 53-43 home loss to Fordham, one would expect this to be a rebound game for the Rams. However, as experienced as the Rams are, they are not known for quick turnarounds. In fact, the team has had three stretches where they had back-to-back losses.

Keys for Mason in the game:
1. Rebounding
2. Aggressive man-on-man defense
3. Draw fouls

Whomever wins this game will be in the driver’s seat for on of the top four seeds in the tournament. While the Patriots schedule is much more difficult than the Rams, a tiebreaker over this team will go a long way.

#MasonRecords:

Points:
Marquise Moore (1,157) is 35 points behind Steve Smith for 23rd all-time.
Jalen Jenkins (1,007) is 13 points behind Byron Tucker (32nd), 36 behind Andy Bolen (31st).

Rebounds:
Marquise Moore (599) is 59 rebounds away from Mike Morrison for 15th all-time.
Jalen Jenkins (662) is 14 rebounds away from Kenwan Alford for 13th all-time.

Assists:
Marquise Moore (342) is 14 assists away from tying Cam Long for 6th all-time.

3pters:
Otis Livingston II (86) is five 3pters away from tying Curtis McCants for 19th all-time.

#RootForMason: 

Root for Massachusetts (13-13, 3-10) over Davidson (13-11, 6-7) at 12:00 on NBCSN.
Root for Dayton (20-5, 11-2) over St. Bonaventure (16-9, 8-5) at 2:00 on NBCSN.
Root for Saint Louis (9-17, 4-9) over Fordham (11-15, 5-8) at 2:00 on A10 Network.
Root for Saint Joseph’s (10-15, 3-10) over La Salle (13-11, 7-6) at 4:00 on CBSSN.

La Salle and Davidson are both within striking range of the Patriots, so it is obvious that George Mason fans should want both of those teams to lose. With Fordham essentially 3.5 games behind the Patriots, since George Mason has the tiebreaker, it doesn’t matter who wins that game with Saint Louis. However fans should root for Saint Louis because if you want to look at ‘postseason resumes,’ it diminishes how bad the two losses are for Mason. Finally, root for Dayton because there is practically no way Mason is passing the Flyers in the standings, St. Bonavanture though is right in the thick of the No. 4 seed race.

Prediction: Rhode Island 76     Mason 74

Prediction Record: 17-9

  305. This therapy helps alleviate a spread of menopausal symptoms,
    together with hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and temper swings, significantly
    in cases of estrogen deficiency. There are other steroids more potent
    than Winstrol for enhancing strength and muscle hypertrophy, corresponding
    to testosterone, trenbolone, and Dianabol. Nevertheless,
    these steroids are increasingly more doubtless to cause virilization-related unwanted effects.
    Hair loss is a standard aspect effect among ladies who take Winstrol, which is
    because of an increase in DHT ranges (a hormone destructive to hair follicle health).
    Nonetheless, if Winstrol is utilized in reasonable to low
    doses in short cycles, the risk of developing long-term unwanted
    effects is tremendously decreased in comparability with those that abuse this steroid.
    Men can use many various anabolic steroids without the fear of turning into ladies.

    If users are extra prepared to danger their well being and are unable to
    afford Anavar’s excessive market price, they might opt for Winstrol (a more powerful fat burner).
    However, females should take a really low dosage of Winstrol to keep away from virilization, as outlined.
    We usually see testosterone causing solely gentle fluctuations in ldl cholesterol when taken in modest dosages with little hepatic toxicity.
    Thus, it is likely certainly one of the most cardiovascular-friendly
    anabolic steroids obtainable. If we were ranking the best steroids for weight loss (or fats loss), Winstrol would doubtless take the top spot.
    However, it comes behind Anavar on our listing just because it has extra poisonous side effects.

    DHEA – 100mgReplenishes declining DHEA levels post-cycle to assist hormone recovery, fats metabolism, and energy ranges.

    Experience the benefits of Anvarol, which is a secure and
    legal substitute for Anavar, available solely on the official web site of CrazyBulk.
    Wild yam root is recognized as a natural ingredient that successfully enhances energy ranges and mitigates
    inflammation. Probably unfavorable outcomes could embody
    elevated levels of cholesterol, hepatic impairment, and suppression of testosterone.
    Anvarol is recognized as the highest authorized steroid option ideally suited for ladies.

    It is a drug that helps burn physique fats but it also is not one thing most women wish to use.
    One of the most important concerns a lot of women have is the security of authorized steroids.
    This is to not say every girl may have a foul experience, but why take the risk within the first place, especially when you can take a authorized steroid that offers
    similar advantages with out the unwanted effects.

    In this article I will evaluation the advantages of taking a legal steroid,
    each one is an different to the true factor and can be used safely
    with no unwanted side effects.
    Further, analysis has reported women additionally utilise different
    PIEDs, such as tanning agents, in an effort
    to switch or improve their appearance [16]. Given the rising body ideal of girls who’re looking for to realize extra muscular physiques, this group could additionally be
    susceptible to engaging in PIED or AAS strategies more just like those of men.
    The propensity for women to have interaction in these strategies has been previously sequestered
    to women’s bodybuilding [17, 18] and, more recently, figure and bikini competitions [19].
    Nevertheless, overall, little attention has been given to the broader
    context of girls concerning PIED and AAS use.
    This complement also serves to safeguard lean muscle
    mass whereas concurrently elevating total performance,
    offering a comprehensive approach to enhancing bodily
    prowess and achieving desired physique composition targets.
    It’s insanely effective if you want to cut excess fat
    and been promoted by icons corresponding to Vladislava
    Galagan.
    Some will choose a Dianabol-only cycle for six weeks, with
    that oral steroid not being hugely suppressive, however it does have
    the draw back of producing lots of water weight. You can use a
    lot of the ancillary compounds mentioned above in the lengthy
    cycles section. You must consider the cycle size,
    which will change how you employ things like peptides right here.
    Also, you won’t want the long-term HGH use on a 12-week cycle,
    nevertheless it helps improve gains during the cycle (as are others
    like IGF). Combining the primary and secondary compounds
    into a standard cycle stack makes for a strong cycle.
    Nonetheless, relying on your expertise stage, you may contemplate stacking extra compounds for
    more important results.
    If you might have diabetes, a cortisone shot would possibly briefly improve your blood sugar levels.
    Prednisone unwanted effects occur at totally different types Of anabolic steroids instances relying on the facet effect.
    Sizzling flashes from prednisone can occur on the first dose if
    the dose is excessive enough. Different side effects like osteoporosis can start taking
    place within the first three months on prednisone however
    can continue to trigger further bone loss over time.
    A lady posted in a support group, asking if prednisone might trigger testosterone levels of zero,
    and sure, that’s possible. If things like which are happening, you can complement; your doctor can prescribe hormone alternative.

    These cycles combine cutting steroids alongside a fat-burning agent corresponding to Clenbuterol.
    This addition enhances outcomes, and the benefit is that Clenbuterol, not being an anabolic steroid, avoids growing the chance of
    virilization. While users will expertise a rise in power and lean muscle, Winstrol’s capability to take away water weight from the body is good for
    female customers desirous to tone up. In an intermediate cycle, Anavar makes means for Primobolan (Methenolone Enanthate), a stronger injectable compound.

    This swap promotes increased muscle acquire while maintaining a low danger of unwanted
    aspect effects. Female customers also can anticipate enhanced strength features when incorporating
    Primo into their cycle.
