* The Patriots' three wins at VCU since 2017-18 are tied with URI for the most in the A-10. VCU has posted a 50-16 combined mark (.758) in the Siegel Center over those four seasons.

* The Patriots were +16 (42-26) on the glass against a good rebounding VCU team. Mason turned a 15-3 edge in offensive rebounds into a +11 (13-2) advantage in second chance points. The Patriots are a combined +24 on the glass over the past two games.
Mason is 8-2 when winning the rebounding battle this season.
