Halftime from the Hynes Center

• Score: Iona 30, Fairfield 26
  
• Joe Cefoli's observation: "Props to this old man pep band". They broke out the 'Family Guy' theme, so they deserve some bonus points in my book. (Joe is subbing tonight in his backyard since our own Tom Cleary had prior commitments).

• Stat o' the half: 11 turnovers from Fairfield in the first half. Iona points off turnovers: 5. Definitely makes a bit of a difference.
  
• Thought o' the half: Stags have been playing relatively clean, at least defensively. Only two foul shot attempts from the Gaels - in fairness, though, most of Fairfield's fouls have been offensive.
