FAIRFAX, Va. – After a four-season hiatus, the George Mason University men's basketball team will renew its longstanding series with William & Mary this December.
The Patriots will host the Tribe on Wednesday, December 6, inside EagleBank Arena. It will mark the 67th meeting all time between the former CAA rivals.
William & Mary returns eight letterwinners from a 2016-17 squad that posted a 17-14 record and a 10-8 mark in CAA play.
The Patriots lead the all-time series 39-27, highlighted by a 68-59 victory in Richmond on March 10, 2008. That game clinched the CAA Tournament title for Mason and sent the Patriots to the 2008 NCAA Tournament.
Mason has captured the past four meetings between the programs. The teams last met on February 23, 2013, with Mason picking up a 60-58 win inside EagleBank Arena.
