What to Know

After two games on the road, the Fairfield Stags are heading back home. The Stags and the Rider Broncs will face off in an MAAC battle at 7:30 p.m. ET Thursday at Webster Bank Arena at Harbor Yard. Fairfield should still be riding high after a win, while Rider will be looking to right the ship.

Things were close when Fairfield and the Manhattan Jaspers clashed on Sunday, but Fairfield ultimately edged out the opposition 66-62.

Meanwhile, Rider was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Sunday as they fell 67-61 to the Iona Gaels.

Fairfield is the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. Their home court has been no bettor's paradise, though, as they've failed to beat the spread in nine of their 14 home games.

The Stags are now 13-16 while the Broncs sit at 11-17. Fairfield is 8-4 after wins this year, and Rider is 6-10 after losses.
