Full 2019-20 Schedule

FAIRFAX, Va. – The George Mason University men's basketball program has released its 2019-20 Atlantic 10 league schedule, which includes 11 games on national television and home contests against 2019 NCAA Tournament teams VCU and Saint Louis.
 
In addition, Mason will host rivalry games with George Washington and Richmond inside EagleBank Arena and face off at home against 2019 NIT qualifier Dayton. Mason's home/away partners include VCU, George Washington, Richmond, Massachusetts and St. Bonaventure.
 
Mason's 11-game nationally televised slate marks an increase of two games from last season's 9-game televised A-10 ledger. In addition, the Patriots will appear on CBS Sports Network/NBC Sports Network/ESPN2 a total of seven times, compared to five times in 2018-19. Additional televised contests in the non-conference portion of the schedule will be announced at a later date.

Mason then hits the road for a two-game swing, starting with a trip to Philadelphia to take on La Salle January 11.
