PATRIOT POINTS
• The Patriots are coming off a 69-62 victory over GW Sunday in Fairfax. Mason closed the game on a 13-0 run to erase a late six-point deficit (62-56).

• A-10 leading scorer Josh Oduro (18.4 ppg) notched a game-high 27 points (11-14 FT) and tied his career best with 14 rebounds to notch his fifth double-double of the season. It marked Oduro's 11th game this season with 20 or more points.

• D'Shawn Schwartz scored 14 of his 19 points in the second half and hit three critical 3-pointers late in the game. Schwartz averages 16.9 points/game in league play (7th in A-10).

• One of the nation's top-75 3pt shooting teams (.360), the Patriots are making just 24.7 percent (20-81) of their attempts over the past three contests.

• The Patriots grabbed a season-best 16 offensive rebounds against the Colonials and held a +10 (17-7) edge in second chance points.

• If Oduro finishes the season ranked first in the A-10 in scoring, he'd claim Mason's first individual conference scoring title since George Evans in 1998-99 (17.2 ppg). Oduro's season average (18.4 ppg) is the highest by a Patriot since Evans in 2000-01 (18.4 ppg).
