The 2008-2009 George Mason Patriots men's basketball team will begin their 43rd season of collegiate play on November 15 2008 versus the University of Vermont. They will be looking to continue the success from their 2007-2008 season where they won the 2008 Colonial Athletic Association tournament championship game and faced Notre Dame in the first round of the 2008 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament and lost 68-50. But George Mason is hoping to repeat their 2005-2006 Final Four run.
