The George Mason's basketball game on Saturday, February 16 at 6 p.m. against UNC Wilmington has officially sold out. The sellout will be the seventh in school history, and the second capacity crowd this season. The Patriots defeated James Madison 74-46 last Saturday in front of a record 9,840 fans. George Mason student tickets are still available but on a limited basis. Mason students can pick up their tickets at the Patriot Center Box Office when they present their Mason ID.

George Mason had two sellouts last season, coming off their remarkable run to the 2006 Final Four. Prior to last year it had been six seasons since the Patriot Center was sold out for a men's basketball game, last on February 17, 2001.
