Fairfield lost big at top 20 Purdue Tuesday night. However the final score was a bit misleading as the Stags were down by only 16 with about 5:30 left.
Fairfield is the U.N. of D1 programs, with two players from Sweden, plus ones from Lithuania, Congo, Serbia, Tunisia, and Egypt. Plus two from Puerto Rico. Their leading scorer in Game 1 was a freshman from Puerto Rico via Miami, who reportedly had offers from GA Tech, Virginia, Wichita State, UMass, and some others.
Pomeroy has the Bison as a 6-point favorite.

137, why are we ranked so much higher by Massey than Kenpom?

I can only guess, but I don't think Massey puts in any work at all in trying to project the current season. They mostly just use a weighted average of the past few years. Pomeroy, in contrast, looks a lot at how many minutes, points, rebounds, etc were lost by each team - but then also factors in a team's basketball tradition.
I don't particularly like any computer ratings this early in the year, but I think Massey is a joke. It won't mean much until after exams.

I must be missing something...nothing was mentioned in the article for the game about someone being out.

Jones is warming up; Meeks still in a boot, Sestina also in a boot with what Birdsong called some sort of stress injury.

All of a sudden that 12 day layoff looks like a great idea!

Lucky to be as close as we are. How can the foul shooting be so bad? Make a few more and we would be much closer despite how bad we played.

Shooting from anywhere on the court has been dreadful, but 3-pointers and FT’s are pathetic. Even with the injuries we should be up in this game.

I didn’t see any of this game but how? And the second question is if we want to be a legit mid major every year...how does this happen?
