WHAT TO WATCH FOR

BAD NEWS GAELS: Iona comes into tomorrow afternoon’s game with a 15-game losing streak. The Gaels are the only team in Division 1-A men’s basketball without a win this season. Look for the Gaels’ to come out of the gate strong and with intensity, despite the dismal record.

MORE UNFINISHED BUSINESS: The Stags lost another close one on Friday against Rider—another game where the team played terrific, but could not put the nail in the coffin. Fairfield must look to win, and win with authority.
