On Saturday, George Mason (13-7, 2-5 A10) traveled to Davidson (10-9, 4-3 A10) in a closely fought battle.

In the first half, Davidson scored 27 points, going 9-25 from the field, 6-16 from behind the arc, and grabbed 16 rebounds in the process.

Mason scored 25 points, going 10-30 from the field, a 5-15 from three and recorded 21 rebounds.

The three-point shooting throughout this game was what it should be from these two teams. Mike Jones and Jon Axel Gudmundsson combined for all of Davidson’s 6 three-point field goals.

This was what Davidson is all about only making 6 threes in one half and this was a rare game for Mason in which they could get the three-ball to drop… sorta.

Some notable things from this game:

Jordan Miller had another one of his “off” nights, he went 0-9 from the field, 0-4 from three, recording only 1 point. If Mason wants to contend against the A10 toughest teams Miller needs to be able to step up, and that didn’t happen tonight.
AJ Wilson has become a versatile player when he’s hot. In this game, he went 7-14 from the field, 2-5 from behind the arc, 2-2 from the charity stripe, recorded 6 rebounds, and totaled 18 points. Here are some clips from today:

The three-point shooting was decent in this game. Davidson was themselves, but Mason shot well only in the first half.
Javon Greene had a sub-average game today. He finished with 12 points going 5-17 from the floor, 2-7 from three, and recorded 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals.

He also had this filthy layup in the second half:
