This game is important for many reasons. Right now only Fairfield and Manhattan control their own destiny to finish first. If Stags win tonight, then Manhattan does NOT control their own destiny...... something that works on someone psychy when you lose control...... IMO you do not focus on the game ahead or "1 game at a time"..... you do some scoreboard watching. Thats why is important to Manhattan.

It is also a huge game for Fairfield from the perspective of winning back Fairfield fans, students, and getting new fans. A win tonight against a quality league opponent vying for 1st place is what College Hoops is about, and a win tonight would build credibility with the fans, and springboard the attendance for the rest of the season. If Fairfield wins tonight, the Fans will leave the Arena saying "WE Won"...... the emphasis on the word "WE"....... rather than the fans just saying "the Stags won" after a normal victory over a Loyola type team. ....... that difference would be HUGE.

Agree with you, JS. Not only would we win back fans, but would continue to get more press coverage as well. We'd better not blow this one!

Ron Perry and the highly ranked Holy Cross team came to town about 25 years ago? It would be nice if we could pin a similar result on the Jaspers tonight. This is as big a regular season game as the Stags have played in a long time.

Gave 14th ranked HC a real pasting, 124-104. This game is as big to us as say UCONN playing against Duke.
