Gold Rush 2018 provided a rush of excitement

OK, so the George Mason University men’s basketball team lost to American 78-75 in overtime to conclude the annual Gold Rush event on the Fairfax Campus on Nov. 9. That didn’t mean those in attendance didn’t have a good time.

Free t-shirts and rally towels were given away before the game at EagleBank Arena. There were arcade games and music. And as these photos by Creative Services photographers Ron Aira and Evan Cantwell illustrate, a good time was had by all.
