George Mason got 26 points from Kory Mincy to get past Loyola, 86-79, on Sunday in Fairfax.

Loyola (4-9, NET: 351) led by five at the half. An 11-0 run early in the second half by the Patriots pushed GMU up by three (46-43), and once the Patriots went up 61-58 with 8:24 left, they would not relinquish the lead for the remainder of the game.

George Mason shot 55.6 percent in the second half (15-of-27).

Jahari Long added 18 points, six rebounds and a team-high five assists for Mason, while Riley Allenspach chipped in 16 points, six rebounds and two steals.

Masai Troutman notched 15 points and made 9-of-10 free throws.
