The No. 6 seed Saint Joseph's (PA) Hawks (21-11) are set to battle the No. 2 seed George Mason Patriots (24-7) on Saturday in the A-10 Tournament at Capital One Arena.
Saint Joseph's has had a season filled with highs and lows but has put together a solid run to reach this point. The Hawks started the year strong, winning 10 of their first 14 games, with notable victories over Villanova, Penn, Texas Tech, and Virginia Tech. However, the middle of their campaign was a mixed bag, as they dropped games to Saint Louis, Duquesne, VCU, Dayton, Loyola, and George Mason over an 11-game stretch.
They responded with key wins against George Washington, Richmond, St. Bonaventure, Fordham, and Rhode Island before a setback against La Salle. Since then, they have bounced back with tournament victories over La Salle and Dayton to keep their postseason hopes alive.
On the other side, George Mason has been one of the most consistent teams in the A-10, despite a sluggish 2-3 start. The Patriots found their rhythm soon after, picking up wins over Coppin State, Ferrum, James Madison, UNC Asheville, and Tulane before falling to Duke. From there, they continued to gain momentum with victories against Penn, Mount St. Mary’s, and Davidson, though they suffered a loss to Rhode Island along the way.
A dominant stretch followed as George Mason rattled off 11 straight wins, taking down Richmond, UMass, Dayton, George Washington (twice), St. Bonaventure, Loyola, Davidson, Rhode Island, Saint Louis, and Saint Joseph’s. They closed the regular season with losses to VCU and Duquesne but responded with wins over Fordham, La Salle, Richmond, and George Washington, bringing their record to 25-7 through 32 games.
