Mason might be a play tomorrow against Hofstra just for the sheer number of injuries/suspensions Hofstra has. Stephen Nwaukoni got hurt in the Drexel game and looked like he badly hurt his shoulder, which is a huge loss for them because of 1) his rebounding ability, and 2) Hofstra has no backup center. In all honesty, I was surprised to see him only listed as questionable because he looked like he couldn't even lift his arm up.
If he doesn't play, I think Hofstra will have about 9 available players (meaning awful players off the bench are going to see minutes), which is going to be very tough against a Mason team that is deep and runs a full-court press.
As much as I hate backing Mason since they have been on my CAA fade list, along with ODU & Drexel, it is going to be difficult to pass on them if Nwaukoni doesn't play.
