The season has begun. Ignore that first game George Mason fans, this teams still gonna be a lot of fun to watch. Your Patriots put a beat down on the Lancers from Longwood, never once giving up the lead in the game.
The Patriots dominance was led by Josh Oduro, who had a double-double tonight with 20 points and 12 rebounds. The MVP came out tonight, and was helped along by 13 points from Victor Bailey Jr and 11 from Ticket Gaines. However, it was the whole team tonight, as every Patriot who saw the floor tonight scored, which included 9 points from Freshman Justyn Fernandez, who was perfect from beyond the arc tonight.
Head Coach Kim English praised the teams newfound depth after the game saying, “Players now decide their minutes by how they play. We have the ability to make a quick substitution now after a defensive or offensive screwup, where we didn’t have that ability last year.”
Mason returns to the court Sunday afternoon at 4, against local rivals American.
