• Media timeout after a Stags' foul.
  
• Evanovich gets a pair after he's fouled hard by Egemoyne. Only one shot bounces in. 15-14 Fairfield.
  
• Just as Greg Nero looks like he's going to turn it over, he toughts it out, hits Herbie with a pass, and then Warren Edney drains a three after a nice feed. Fisher answers quickly on the other end, showing how good this Niagara team can be. 14-14.
  
• Edney gets fouled after a pretty feed from Jon Han, who was running the baseline. Edney hits a pair of free throws to keep the Stags' momentum rolling. 12-11 Niagara.
  
• Herbie Allen gets a runner in the lane, after Lewis only hits one free throw. Stags, who are trying to find some rhythm, get Nero in the game. 12-9 Niagara.
  
• Evanovich is forced to foul Tyrone Lewis, who would've had an easy lay-up. A.J. turned the ball over thanks to some strength and hustle from Benson Egemoyne.
  
• Turnover for Niagara as Hodge tried to force the ball inside to Benson Egemoyne. Full-court pressure from the Eagles, but the Stags break the press.
