George Mason has a tight turnaround after playing Thursday afternoon at home against Towson. William & Mary (6-15, 2-8) has struggled this season after going 22-11 and graduating two of its top three scorers. Junior Quinn McDowell (14.5 ppg, 4.9 rpg) paces the Tribe. Last year in Fairfax, William & Mary snapped George Mason’s 18-game home winning streak and beat the Patriots for just the second time in the last 14 meetings.

GW (10-10, 3-3) gave Xavier all it could handle Wednesday night, trying to end the longest home winning streak in Atlantic 10 history (36 games) before succumbing 81-74. After four straight defeats, GW tries to recover against St. Louis (7-12, 2-4), which doesn’t have a senior or a double-figures scorer. Coach Rick Majerus, who recently missed three games with a lacerated leg, rotates nine players.

All of Wake Forest’s ACC losses have come by at least 19 points. Virginia (11-8, 2-3), which played Maryland on Thursday night, has lost to the Demon Deacons five straight times. This year’s young Wake Forest cast, however, bears little resemblance to the teams that dealt those defeats, Freshman Travis McKie is the Demon Deacons’ top scorer (13.0 ppg) and rebounder (7.5 pg).
UMES at Howard
Where » Burr Gymnasium
When » Saturday, 4 p.m.
Depleted Howard (2-17, 0-7) put up a fight against Bethune-Cookman, the first-place team in the MEAC, before falling 56-49 Monday night for their ninth straight loss. Maryland-Eastern Shore (4-15, 1-5) is led by 6-6 junior Hillary Haley (Friendly), who averages 16 points and 5.1 rebounds a game. UMES won both meetings last year by a combined three points. In one of those games, Haley scored a career-high 33 points.
