George Mason routs Liberty for sixth straight win

The hot shooting for the Patriots continued last night as they dismantled Liberty 84-54 in Lynchburg.  The game wasn't even close as Mason shot 74% from the field in the 1st half.  They took advantage of Liberty's sloppy defense which left them with a lot of open shots, especially from the three-point line.  Cam Long, Ryan Pearson, and Luke Hancock again had strong games with all of them scoring in a variety of ways.  The team was flying up and down the court, creating shots for eachother, and hitting almost every shot they took. The fact that they were playing their first real road game didn't seem to faze the Patriots at all as they looked as strong as they did during their recent homestand. The numbers were impressive: they scored 40 points in the paint and 29 off of Liberty's 17 turnovers while also dishing out 16 assists.  Isaiah Tate and Vertrail Vaughns were productive off the bench and helped the Patriots jump out to the early lead. Their continued production will be helpful in the team's next couple of road games.
