The headline says it all. George Mason, ranked fourth in the Colonial Athletic Association standings, will play host to the conference frontrunner, Drexel, Saturday night at 7 p.m. at the Patriot Center in the SunTrust CAA Game of the Week.

In a game that can be seen live on Comcast SportsNet and the Metro Channel (NY), the Patriots (15-7, 8-5 CAA) look to snap the Dragons' (15-7, 10-3 CAA) six-game win streak and hold atop the league standings.

Mason leads the series 5-2 and is 3-0 against Drexel at Patriot Center. The Dragons handed the Patriots an 83-65 setback on Jan. 26, in the first meeting this season between the two squads. So, the Patriots will be out to return the favor.

It'll be a match-up against the conference's best home court team versus the team with the best road mark. Mason stands at 9-1 on the year at home, while Drexel is 6-2 away from Philly. Over the past six seasons, George Mason is 43-5 against CAA opponents at the Patriot Center.
