LAST TIME OUT
Fairfield Men's Basketball erased a double-digit second-half deficit and rallied for an 83-78 overtime win over Stony Brook on Wednesday afternoon at Webster Bank Arena this afternoon. The Stags trailed by 11 points with 14 minutes remaining in regulation before making their comeback.
 
Jake Wojcik finished the game with a team-high 24 points while Supreme Cook registered 16 points and nine rebounds with a block to pace the Stags. Taj Benning added 14 points while TJ Long came off the bench to contribute 11 points to represent Fairfield's four double-digit scorers.
 
The Stags shot 50 percent from the floor in the game, connecting on 30 of 60 shots attempted. The team also excelled at the free throw line, netting 16 of 18 charity tosses for 89 percent.
 
NON-CONFERENCE WINNING STREAKS
With the win over Stony Brook, the Stags are riding their first three-game winning streak against non-MAAC competition since starting the 2016-17 season at 3-0 with victories over Sacred Heart, Dartmouth and Wagner.
 
The Stags' last four-game non-league winning streak came on Dec. 12-29, 2012 with wins over Milwaukee, Drexel, Saint Joseph's and Old Dominion. The streak was five non-conference games in total, though the games were not consecutive as a win at Austin Peay on Dec. 1 was followed by a MAAC loss to Canisius.
