Stags led 24-14; 3:12 remaining first half

Loyola finally broke its scoring slump with one free throw with 6:25 left in the half. But the Greyhounds have scored just four points in the past nine minutes.

Fairfield struggled to make open layups, at one point Marty O'Sullivan missed 3 easy layups in a row. If they can make those shots, they will pull far ahead.

Loyola is still shooting a very low 22.2%, while the Stags have dropped to 36%. Van Schaick leads all scorers with nine points.
