Pre-game notes: Iona/Fairfield

• Stags' starting five: Nero and Evanvoich at forward, A.J. under center, and Jon Han and WYorel Hawkins at guard
  
• Fairfield guard Herbie Allen has his hand wrapped up, and as we reported earlier is likely out for this game. One would assume it's merely precautionary.
  
• My first Stags' action in a while - good to be back after the winter break.
  
• Finally got into the gym after some mix-ups on a crazy night in New Rochelle. No pre-game meal... too bad. Looks like a slim turnout since Iona's kids are still on vacation. However, they did manage to breakout their pep band (average age 50). Here we go!
