The Fairfield Stags and the Quinnipiac Bobcats meet in college basketball action from the People’s United Center on Sunday afternoon.

The Fairfield Stags will look to bounce back from a fifth straight loss after an 80-76 loss to Iona last time out. Taj Benning leads the Stags in scoring with 10.8 PPG along with 5.4 RPG while Supreme Cook and Jake Wojcik each have 10+ PPG with Cook logging a team-high 7.9 RPG this season, rounding out the group of double-digit scorers for Fairfield so far this season. Caleb Green also has 7.9 PPG and a team-high 3.1 APG as well this season. As a team, Fairfield is averaging 72.1 PPG on 45.6% shooting from the field, 33.5% from three and 71.5% from the foul line while allowing 66.8 PPG on 42.1% shooting from the field and 31.6% from three this season.

The Quinnipiac Bobcats will try to build on their 77-70 OT win over Rider last time out. Matt Balanc has a team-high 15.6 PPG as the lone double-digit scorer for Quinnipiac up to this point in the season. Dezi Jones and Jacob Rigoni each have 9+ PPG while Kevin Marfo has 9 PPG with a team-high 10.4 RPG and 4.2 APG as well on the year. As a team, Quinnipiac is averaging 73.9 PPG on 43.9% shooting from the field, 33% from three and 76.7% from the foul line while allowing 69.6 PPG on 42.7% shooting from the field and 33.2% from three this season.

Fairfield is 10-2 ATS in their last 12 road games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 Sunday games. Quinnipiac is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games following three or more consecutive road games while the under is 8-1 in their last 9 home games.

I get the allure of Fairfield here, as the Stags have been winning games and covering the number especially, left and right on the road this season. However, the Stags have also lost five straight coming into this game and Quinnipiac is just finding ways to win here and there and being at home here doesn’t hurt matters either. Give me the Bobcats in this one.
