After Fairfield's win over Loyola earlier in the week, I though they would be able to go on a run and put some distance between themselves and the rest of the MAAC pack. However, with a loss to Siena, they are right back in the middle of it. They are currently tied with Loyola at 3-2, but having beat Loyola, they hold the tiebreaker.
-The big game coming up on Sunday could indicate which way the Stags are going. A win would put them at 4-2, guaranteeing they would stay in third place. But, a loss would drop them down to 3-3, and possibly down into sixth place.
-The Stags are not a very good three point shooting team. They have been shooting 28.8 percent for the season, which is a problem when their front-court is getting doubled down low. Most likely this will cost them a few games.
-Fairfield is at its best when it creates offense off of the fast break. Rebounding and defense are so important to them. The defensive boards and turnovers allow them to push the ball and try to get a favorable match-up on the other end.
