Mason has enjoyed a six-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will take on the Holt Rams at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. One thing working in Mason's favor is that they have posted big point totals in their last four games.
Last Friday, Mason beat Williamston 66-54. Given Mason's advantage in MaxPreps' Michigan basketball rankings (they are ranked 64th, while Williamston is ranked 222nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
