Saint Francis U makes the trip to Fairfax, Va. to take on George Mason in the nightcap of a men's/women's doubleheader at the Patriot Center.

The Red Flash is looking to snap a two-game skid, while the Patriots have won three straight to open the season, including home victories over American (63-60) and Northern Iowa (76-70).

Tuesday's game marks the second meeting between the two programs at the Patriot Center – the first was a 96-95 Mason win.  The Flash won the teams' first meeting in Fairfax, 58-49, at the Physical Education Building.

George Mason is the third of four Atlantic 10 opponents on the Saint Francis schedule this season.  The Red Flash fell at Fordham in the season-opener, then flirted with a win for the first 36 minutes of a nip-and-tuck contest at Dayton.

Next, Saint Francis visits Colgate to wrap up its season-long four-game road swing.  Tipoff for Saturday's tilt against the Raiders is set for 2 p.m.
