91����

Twenty years after George Mason’s own Cinderella story, sports dietitians Quinten Patterson and Allison McKay share their chalk-talk for fueling and recovery during the Big Dance.

Marvin Lewis, 91����’s assistant vice president and director of Intercollegiate Athletics, is now in his inaugural season among those charged with making it happen for those lucky few as part of the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee.

The 2006 Final Four run by the 91���� men’s basketball team was an achievement so improbable, so unprecedented, that it transformed how the college basketball world viewed possibility itself. Now, 20 years later, the Patriots will honor that magical postseason journey on Saturday, December 13, when they host Old Dominion University at EagleBank Arena.

On Friday, October 14, 91���� Athletics officially kicked-off men's and women's basketball season with Mason Madness.

91����’s men’s and women’s basketball teams, led by head coaches Kim English and Vanessa Blair-Lewis, respectively, have announced their schedules for the upcoming season.

The unanimous U.S. Supreme Court’s June ruling limiting the NCAA’s ability to restrict education-related benefits to athletes won’t have as broad an impact as some news outlets are reporting, said Craig Esherick, former Georgetown University men’s basketball coach, lawyer and associate professor in 91����’s College of Education and Human Development.

91���� introduced new women’s basketball coach Vanessa Blair-Lewis on Wednesday at EagleBank Arena, trumpeting her ability to build relationships—and a winning program.

Vanessa Blair-Lewis sees coaching basketball as “a ministry” more than a job, but her career almost didn’t happen.
