A few box score notes from the Rebels’ first loss of the season.
Defense remains an issue. George Mason had not set the world afire in its first two games but shot over 50 percent in the first half and almost 50 percent in the second. In 0-2 start Mason had shot 42 percent against Mercer, 32.7 percent against Colgate.
Mason was able to limit Sebastian Saiz to six points on 3-for-9 shooting.
Tomasz Gielo is still struggling. He was 1-for-7 from the floor, 1-for-4 from 3. It looks like a repeat of a slow start for a post-grad transfer.
