What you need to know about Fairfield
Fairfield lost a heartbreaker to the Massachusetts Minutemen when they met in November of 2019, and they came up just short again on Sunday in a 77-73 loss to UMass. Forward Allan Jeanne-Rose put forth a good effort for the losing side as he had 21 points.
Taj Benning had a tough night with just four points on 2-of-8 shooting from the floor, but the fifth-year guard has reached double-figures in nine of 12 games so far this season and he's the team's leading scorer (11.1 ppg). He had 10 points and six rebounds in the Fairfield win in 2019 and his knowledge of the Seahawks could be pivotal on Thursday.
What you need to know about Wagner
Meanwhile, the Seahawks are coming off a 93-51 win over the Delaware State Hornets. Delonnie Hunt led the team with 17 points and Wagner had five players reach double-figures. Wagner went 12-for-28 from the 3-point line and it was far and away the Seahawks' best shooting performance of the season.
Wagner shoots just 30.6 percent from the 3-point line but limits its opponents to 27.5 percent shooting from outside the arc. Fairfield attempts nearly 23 shots from the 3-point line per game so running the Stags off their spots will be critical.
