The Fairfield University men's basketball team (1-1) dropped their first game of the year against the Big East team in the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (1-1). Click here for the complete recap and boxscore.
The Least You Should Know:
-Warren Edney had 12 points in the game but only 1 in the second half.
-Greg Nero had 1 point
-Derek Needham had a team high 14 points but went 5-20 from the floor including 2-10 from behind the arc.
-The Stags did not have one point in the paint in the second half.
Well if the Stags keep playing like this, I think the MAAC is much more wide open than others think. They could not get anything going on offense. I do not know how a team does not score a close range shot in the second half. What is also disturbing is that Derek Needham only had one less rebound than Ryan Olander. Olander is the big man and the leader without Anthony Johnson and he NEEDS to get more boards. Not just him but the rest of the team as well.
The Game Ball Goes to: Colin Nickerson, He went 2-4 from three and did not have to play after he fouled out
Up Next: The Stags travel to Penn State to play the Nittany Lions Friday at 7:30.
