Projection: likely out

George Mason’s résumé is anchored by eye-catching neutral-site nonconference wins over Ohio and Florida Atlantic and by comfortable victories over mid-majors such as Wofford and Winthrop, while the road loss at Virginia Tech remains the clear blemish that committees notice. The season now turns on conference execution: a home date with VCU and a later trip to VCU, road assignments at Richmond and George Washington, and league tests against Dayton, St Louis, Rhode Island, and St Bonaventure will reveal whether those nonconference gains translate to meaningful results away from home. Expected wins over Old Dominion and Loyola Maryland will hold little sway if they are offset by stumbles at La Salle or Fordham, so a resume-defining win on the road or at a neutral site against a top A Ten opponent would validate the upward trajectory while more slip-ups would leave the profile thin.
