Fairfield Men's Basketball Team Hosts Loyola (Md.)

The Fairfield Stags (4-5) will try to get back to the. 500 mark when they host Loyola Maryland (1-8) tomorrow night (Tuesday, Dec. 22) at Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport. WVOF Radio (88.5 fm) will broadcast with tip-off at 7:00 p.m. ‎Fairfield sophomore guard Jerome Segura scored a career high 16-points in Friday night's 76-64 loss to Wagner, the Stags' first home setback of the season. Fairfield's leading scorer Marcus Gilbert (18.3 ppg) is expected back in the lineup after missing the last two due to an ankle sprain. Fairfield has been buoyed by the play of four new faces on the roster. Rookies Jonathan Kasibabu and Curtis Cobb both scored a team-high 14 points to lead the Stags to their most recent win, a 74-70 triumph over Rider on December 4. Kasibabu added eight rebounds to top the Stags in caroms in that triumph, as well, and is the Stags board leader with 6 rbp this season. Sophomore ‎Tyler Nelson and another freshman, Matija Milin, each had 13 points for Fairfield in that victory. A fourth rookie, Jerry Johnson, Jr. had 19 points in the Stags blowout of Maryland Eastern Shore on November 24.
