Mason men’s basketball travels to Norfolk, Virginia on Saturday to take on Old Dominion at 7 p.m. at the Constant Center.

Coming off an 80-77 win over the University of Pennsylvania on Thursday night at home, Mason (7-6) looks to keep their two-game winning streak alive as they face off against this former Colonial Athletic Association conference foe in their final non-conference game of the season. The Monarchs left the CAA to join Conference USA this year.

Mason men's basketball head coach Paul Hewitt has suspended Anali Okoloji for "conduct unbecoming for a Mason student-athlete."

In Wednesday night's men's basketball game against the University of South Florida, Okoloji received a technical foul for stepping on a USF player.

"Anali's actions in Wednesday's game were inexcusable and not what we expect from a George Mason student-athlete," Hewitt said. 

The Mason men’s basketball team defeated Rhode Island on Saturday afternoon at the Patriot Center, 61-54.

Jalen Jenkins posted 11 rebounds and five blocks, while tying his career-high in scoring with nine points. Sherrod Wright tallied 16 points, and Marko Gujanicic had 13 on the night. Bryon Allen added 6 assists, but ended the night with only six points.

“I know that every night I’m not going to score and make every shot,” Allen said. “But I tried to keep my defensive energy going.”
