WHAT TO WATCH FOR

SPEEDY GREYHOUNDS: The Greyhounds have won five in a row. Their last win came against # 2-seeded Iona. With multiple people contributing on offense, Loyola has a solid all-around team. Look for the Greyhounds to charge at the Stags full speed.

FAIRFIELD FEVER: The Stags have really come into prominence of late and are currently locked in at fourth in the MAAC. On Friday, Fairfield put on an offensive display, netting a season-high 81 points against Niagara. The Stags will hope to continue their stellar offensive and defensive play against one of the conference’s best.
