Busy day leads to Fairfax

Greetings from Patriot Center, where the triple threat Saturday comes to a close.

Obviously, there wasn't much on the blog from Stop One (College Park) or Stop Two (Baltimore's M&T Bank Stadium). As they say, patience. There will be plenty from both tomorrow.

But for now, it's time for Mason to try to wrap up a perfect home season.

Freshman Ryan Pearson won't play tonight after aggravating a right hand injury during practice this week. Mason is still waiting on results of tests to determine the severity of the ailment.

There's still plenty on the line for the Patriots, even without one of their top reserve forwards. There's still an outside chance at the No. 2 seed in next week's CAA tournament --- and also the chance of falling to No. 4 with a loss.

More to come.
