11:56 Remaining First Half; Stags lead Jaspers 47-45

• Bad news for the Stags first place hopes (other than the fact they are losing), Siena is blowing out Niagara 78-60 in Albany with 8:27 left in the game. With a win the Saints will all but lock up first place, needing only a win over Saint Peter's on Sunday to do so.
• Evanovich misses a three, but Peanut grabs the board, misses a shot, grabs another rebound, passes to Evanovich and he lays it in to cut the lead to 41-40. On the other end Peanut rebounds a quick Jaspers miss and is then fouled, giving the Stags the ball right back with a chance to take the lead.
• Evanovich almost throws the ball away as he is trapped driving it up the court, Mamadou hustles back to grab the ball and tips it ahead to Han, who passes to Nero and Nero is fouled – He hits both to give Fairfield the lead back, 42-41.
• Han comes up with a steal and takes the ball all the way to the hoop for a lay-up, 44-41 Fairfield.
• Green is open underneath and lays the ball in for two, 44-43 Fairfield.
• Stags coaches seem a bit displeased with the officiating. After a non-call on Manhattan when Austin was all over Nero, Evanovich is called for a questionable foul and Green hits two free throws to give the Jaspers the lead back, 45-44 with 12:55 left.
• Evanovich hits a three and the Stags lead 47-45.
• Media timeout.
