- A win against Mason would make Burgess VCU's all-time winningest Ram
- A start puts Burgess just two games away from breaking Patrick Ewing's all-time NCAA consecutive starts record
Career rankings at VCU:
1,586 points = 7th
710 rebounds = 7th
213 made 3-pointers = 2nd
39.6 3-point field goal % = 8th
4,368 minutes played = 2nd (becomes all-time leader with 34 minutes against Mason)
139 steals = 10th
321 made free throws = 7th
