Bison-Mason confirmed
Sources in Lewisburg have confirmed the earlier report of a Bucknell-George Mason matchup. The game will be played at the Verizon Center (formerly MCI Center) in Washington D.C. as part of the BB&T Classic.

The matchup reportedly was put together by John Feinstein, who is a board member of the Children's Charities Foundation, which benefits from the event. Feinstein is the driving force behind the one-day, six team event. In fact, some fans in the D.C. area have been known to call the BB&T the Feinstein Invitational.

The event's Web site currently lists Maryland and George Washington as other participants. Rumor has it the Terps will face Notre Dame and GW will take on Virginia Tech. Those matchups come from message boards, not published reports or "reputable" sources, so take them with a grain of salt.

Formerly a four-team elimination tournament, the BB&T was retooled last season as a one-day, six teams, three games event. George Washington and Maryland have participated every year since the event started in 1995. Mason will be making its third appearance in the BB&T, Bucknell its first.
