Sophomore forward Ryan Pearson led the way with a career-high 19 points and 10 rebounds against Big Green.

Also, Luke Hancock gave George Mason a boost off the bench, scoring 12 points in 27 minutes. “In the scrimmage against Georgetown, the exhibition game against Virginia State and in our first two games, (Luke has) been able to do some things consistently well that obviously has earned himself some playing time,” Patriots coach Jim Larranaga said.

For the 5th ranked Villanova, their season also got off to a perfect start, as they’re looking to go 3-0 for the third straight year. The Wildcats opened the new season with an 84-61 win over Fairleigh Dickinson, followed by a 103-65 thrashing of cross-town rivals, Pennsylvania Quakers. “We kept playing well,” said coach Jay Wright. “If we stopped playing, I kept thinking of calling a timeout. We kept playing. It was fun to be a part of that.”
