🔺 Meet Us At EBA. Nothing better than hanging out with a couple thousand of your closest friends, right?

We’ve got not one, but ✌️ chances for the Mason Maniaks to do just that as the Patriots host a HUGE week of action on the court.

Tonight, the men return home to take on a Loyola-Chicago, who enters as one of the hotter teams in the Atlantic 10, having won five of its past six and currently sit third in the league standings.

Thursday night is one of the bigger women’s basketball games in program history as first-place Saint Joe’s visits Fairfax as the two top teams in the Atlantic 10 square off in a matchup that could determine a regular season title and possible tournament bids.

Both games this week at EagleBank Arena are set to tip at 7 p.m.
