This week’s MAAC Stock Watch was delayed slightly thanks to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference coaches conference call. Canisius and Fairfield share the top spot in the conference through the first weekend of MAAC play, just as everyone expected. Niagara’s reign over the top spot lasted fewer than two games and Quinnipiac shares the conference basement with Saint Peter’s. Here’s more on who’s up, who’s down after the conference’s first weekend.
Saint Peter’s might be getting good news come Wednesday when they take on Princeton. Continue reading “Saint Peter’s Desi Washington Could Return Wednesday”

Monday was indeed very blue for Fairfield, who lost a big lead at home to Bucknell and lost brutally in overtime. At that time, they were 2-5, losers of five of six, and were staring at Manhattan and Quinnipiac to open the MAAC season, surely with visions of last season’s 7-25 (and 4-16 in MAAC play) record dancing in their heads.
Tuesday was gray and Wednesday, too, as Fairfield struggled to make things right in practice. But by the second half on Friday, Fairfield fans were able to be in love with their team as they handled Manhattan fairly easily in the MAAC opener. By Sunday, the Stags were atop the conference as again they went to overtime, but this time put the brutal loss on Quinnipiac, 56-52, even after the three big men that play the most minutes for them had all fouled out.

At the very least, Friday night probably spells the end for Steve Masiello’s red suit jacket.
The normally impeccably dressed Masiello will seemingly try anything these days to change his team’s luck, especially after losing on a 75-foot shot last week at George Mason, even donning a checkered red suit jacket that he previously wore at the Hall of Fame Tip-Off dinner two weeks ago.
But in the MAAC opener, it was previously offensively challenged Fairfield that exploded in the second half and left the Jaspers at 1-5 (and more importantly 0-1 in the MAAC) with a surprisingly comfortably 67-54 win at Webster Bank Arena.
Siena opened MAAC play Friday evening with a resounding 88-67 victory over Quinnipiac to start 1-0 in the conference. After dropping a difficult two-point road loss at Fordham earlier in the week, the Saints looked to be headed to another close game as they entered halftime leading the Bobcats by just two – 40-38. However, Siena blew the doors open early in the second half and never let Quinnipiac get close. Here are three thoughts from Friday evening’s victory:
