11:48 Remaining First Half; Loyola leads Fairfield 13-12

• 6'7 Justin Tuck drains a three to give Loyola the lead back at 8-5 right out of the media timeout.
• O'Sullivan swishes through a second three to tie the game back up. Meanwhile on the other end Brown drives to the hoop past Devin Johnson and lays the ball in, drawing a foul on D.J. in the process. He goes to the line for the +1 and drains it to give the Greyhounds the lead back again at 11-8.
• Marty tries to hit his third three of the game, but this one rims out. Warren Edney grabs the rebound and the freshman earns a trip to the line with a put back. He makes the first, but misses the second and Greg Nero picks up a foul on the rebound. The Stags have five fouls already and are in danger of being in the penalty with a lot of time left in the half if they don't stop making stupid fouls.
• After a Tuck basket increases the lead to 13-9, Han hits a midrange jumper and then strips the ball on the other end. Nero goes to the line for two free throws and makes one of two to cut the deficit to 13-12.
• Stags pick up their seventh foul with 11:48 left in the first half, not a good sign. Media timeout.
