47-45 Stags; 15:54 in the 2nd

• Media T.O. and a deep breath - as this crowd is getting rowdy.
  
• Israel is called for a hold after grabbing Van Schaick, who was trying to drive the lane.
  
• Israel goes up after his own missed and is "fouled" by Devin Johnson. Johnson thought he hit all ball. Israel hits both shots to pull the Greyhounds within two. 47-45 Stags.
  
• Anthony Johnson is called for a hold on Israel on the floor. Hounds ball.
  
• Johnson hits one-of-one from the line. 47-44 Stags.
  
• Things are getting HEATED: Anthony Johnson was on a break away and was pushed from behind by Sullivan - who was not called for an intentional. Han took offense and got in Sullivan's face, almost resulting in a skirmish. Hopefully, they weren't watching the lacrosse game. Cooley pumps his fist at the crowd after huddling with Patsos.
  
• Devin Johnson grabs a rebound from a Peanut Johnson miss and puts it in. Seconds later, James gets a lay-up. 46-43 Stags.
  
• Sullivan hits a three on a kick-out pass; he was wide open. 44-41 Stags.
  
• Nero makes a nice post move and puts in off of a turnaround jumper. 44-38 Stags.
  
• Patsos celebrates like the Greyhounds just won the World Series and gets a technical foul (much to the delight of the Fairfield faithful). Shake hits them both and the Stags go up four. 42-38 Stags.
  
• Alujevic gets a good look from James and lays it in. 40-38.
  
• It smells like hot chocolate.
  
• Shake hits a shot just a step in front of the arc. He looks like he's getting hot. 40-36 Stags.
  
• Alujevic lays it in off of a feed from Sullivan, who was driving the lane. A similar ply to that of FU the last run. 38-36 Stags.
  
• Greg Nero puts it in from the paint. 38-34 FU.
  
• Moments later, Van Schaick gets a kick out pass from Peanut and drains the three, helping the Stags regain the lead. 36-34 Stags
  
• Shake in bounds to Han and we are underway.
  
• Stat of the Half: Gerald Brown leads Loyola with 10 points, but shot 4-of-12 from the field and was scoreless on four attempts from beyond the arc.
