What to Know

The Fairfield Stags will be returning home after a two-game road trip. Fairfield and the Rider Broncs will face off in an MAAC battle at 2 p.m. ET Sunday at Leo D. Mahoney Arena. The Stags won both of their matches against Rider last season (76-65 and 65-59) and are aiming for the same result this time around.

Fairfield came out on top in a nail-biter against the Mount St. Mary's Mountaineers this past Thursday, sneaking past 63-60.

Meanwhile, Rider strolled past the Marist Red Foxes with points to spare this past Friday, taking the matchup 68-52.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Fairfield is expected to win a tight contest. They are currently five-for-five against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

Their wins bumped the Stags to 10-10 and the Broncs to 10-9. Watch the contest and check back on CBS Sports to find out who keeps up the positive energy and who hits a stumbling block.
