The George Mason men’s basketball team played their final non-conference game of the season on Saturday afternoon but couldn’t come away with the victory, falling to visiting Norfolk State 68-65 at EagleBank Arena in Fairfax.

Mason led throughout much of the game, leading by 13 points midway through the second-half but a series of turnovers and missed free throws paved the way for the comeback by Norfolk State.

Freshman Tyler Kolek led all scores, hitting five three-pointers on the way to a career-best 19 points. Josh Oduro was the only other Patriot in double figures as he put in 10 points.
