Under the Radar Game of the Day – Sunday, January 28th

Quinnipiac (15-4, 7-1) at Fairfield (12-7, 6-2) – 2:00 PM ET (ESPN+)

The state of Connecticut currently reigns supreme in the Metro Atlantic and today’s UTR Game of the Day takes place in Fairfield between the Quinnipiac Bobcats and the Fairfield Stags. After losing their opener to Iona, the Stags have caught fire and have won 11 out of their last 12 games, including a win against Saint Peter’s. Fairfield and Saint Peter’s are at the moment tied for 2nd in the MAAC. Caleb Fields had 25 points in their last game – an 82-75 win on the road against Manhattan.

Quinnipiac had a bit of a surprising stumble at Canisius earlier in the season, but the Bobcats have by and large taken care of business since that loss in December. The highest team in the standings they’ve beaten so far is Niagara, this will be Quinnipiac’s first game against either Fairfield or Saint Peter’s. Matt Balanc averages 18.7 points a game for the Bobcats.
