George Mason at Maryland            7   Big 10 Network  -  After the GW win, Maryland also struggled with Vermont over the weekend. George Mason has won their first 3 games of the season, blowout wins over Stony Brook, Penn and Morgan State. 

Boston College at Rhode Island    6   CBS Sportsnetwork

La Salle at Delaware                      7

VCU at Vanderbilt                           8   SEC Network

Mason up 10 on UMD with 13 minutes left. Maybe UMD isn't really all that great and/or Mason is in for a very nice season.

agreed!! We'll see how things play out as the season goes on, but it appears as if all the hype about Kim English is justified. 

Three of George Mason's transfers(Schwartz, Gaines and Cooper) are having big games tonight in College Park

Also not sure what is going on at Dayton.  Got blown out by Lipscomb.

That was also George Mason's first win ever against Maryland, they had been 0-9. Maryland also has a game against Richmond. What was Turgeon thinking? Maybe he should have stuck with scheduling VMI and Mount St.Mary's!! 

GW0509,  2 of George Mason's transfers played under(and may have been recruited by) Kim English previously. 'The Ticket' Gaines played under Kim English at Tennessee, and Schwartz played under K. English at Colorado

Rhode Island beats BC and VCU beats Vandy
These power 5 wins are always good
the VCU game was an incredible 48-37 score.  looks like a typical Vandy SEC football loss of a score.

Mason is going to be good this year. 

Matt Painter has a legit NCAA title contender this year.   15 NCAA Tourney wins at Purdue.
180–109 in Big10 Play.  What a great run at Purdue, only 51. Another guy rewarded heavily for staying put, has turned down multiple bluest blood offers.   Star of this team is Jaden Ivey a likely top 5 NBA pick, son of a WNBA Mom and NFL Dad

Edey continues a run of enormous sized guys, Painter has had at least one on every team for years and sometimes two at a time.  Guys like Haas and Haarms. 

The amazing thing about Edey, he can actually jump.  Really quick too for a guy that size.

"This is our fourth win against a team that will finish at the top of their league," head coach Kim English said. "That's the most important thing. I saw something in the media where they said it was a big game for us. Our guys know that's the complete opposite of what we preach. We didn't prepare for Maryland any differently than we did Stony Brook, Penn, Morgan State. Our standard is our standard. I'm really proud of our guys. It keeps us on track with our goals. It's a quality road win."

Davidson and St. Bonaventure are also participating in OOC tournaments that start today. Davidson is actually playing right now, I guess they started at noon eastern. 

Davidson vs. New Mexico State   right now on ESPNU   -   This is part of the Myrtle Beach Invitational, it looks like Oklahoma is also in this event. I'll find the other teams playing in this later.

#22 St. Bonaventure vs. Boise State     2:00   ESPN2  - This is part of the Charleston Classic. Clemson, Temple, Ole Miss, Marquette, Elon and West Virginia also in this event, so St. Bonaventure has the chance to pick up some BCS wins and gets some national attention. This could be similar to Dayton two years ago when they made a lot of noise in an early season OOC tournament.
