What to Know

The Fairfield Stags have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Iona Gaels and are hoping to record their first win since Dec. 12 of 2020. Fairfield and Iona will face off in an MAAC battle at 2 p.m. ET Sunday at Leo D. Mahoney Arena. The Gaels should still be feeling good after a big victory, while Fairfield will be looking to regain their footing.

Fairfield received a tough blow this past Friday as they fell 66-51 to the Quinnipiac Bobcats.

Meanwhile, Iona took their contest against the Mount St. Mary's Mountaineers this past Friday by a conclusive 81-51 score.

The Stags are expected to lose this next one by 6. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 6-2 against the spread when expected to lose.

Fairfield was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap in the teams' previous meeting in January as they fell 75-69 to the Gaels. Maybe Fairfield will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the matchup and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
