This is a bit of an oddly placed game for us. We’re coming off of a very nice road win at Marquette and preparing to go back on the road with a trip to the Bahamas for a ridiculously tough 3-game tournament. In the middle is a buy game with Fairfield, a team that most fans probably think is similar to SIU-Edwardsville and Chicago State.
This could be a minor trap game, however.
Sure, I expect to win, but it will be a tougher challenge than the previous two home games. This team hales from the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, whose champion almost always causes some consternation in March.
