I love how this is termed an "embarassing" and "horrendous" loss. Like Fairfield has morphed into UConn or something after winning one league title the last 18 years and playing to 30 percent capacity in a 9,000 seat arena. Suddenly the Stags are above playing in small gyms. Please.

St. Francis is always decent, sometimes pretty good, went on the road to beat St. John's last season and has won like 76 percent of its home games since 1997.

Not an upset folks.

HUGE LOSS, Embarrassment for Fairfield, horrendous loss. One game does not a season make. Everyone knew going into this season the cupboard was bare. Unfortunately Maxwell's indiscretions are going to hurt this team early. If he played last night the Stags probably win. If he is reinstated for the 2nd semester (Along with Mamadou) some much needed bulk and toughness underneath returns. One MAAC game will be played in the first semester (Loy. 12/9). The ultimate goal is winning the MAAC tourney and getting to the NCAA. The mood of many on this board is that the season is over. Look on the bright side. Han is going to be a special player, MOS is poised for a big year. The OOC games may get ugly but remember the ultimate goal. The MAAC season starts 1/5/06. Thanks, NJ Hoops Fan for your insight on St. Francis.
