Patriots to play at GW

This match-up had been mentioned here before, but now there's more confirmation that the Patriots will play at local rival George Washington for the first time since 1998. Post from the GW Hatchet blog:
"Director of Athletics Jack Kvancz confirmed Monday that George Mason’s men’s basketball team will play at GW this upcoming season.

The pairing seems to many to be a natural fit, with the schools not only located close to one another, but also playing in two of college basketball’s best leagues outside of the BCS power conferences. It will be the first time the teams have met since GW bested the Patriots in the 1998 Red Auerbach Colonial Classic at Smith Center."

Hopefully this a start to more local area scheduling, Georgetown and Maryland can't duck us forever can they? Can they?
