Some bad shots to end the first and start the second from OF.

 

[Elessar]

13-2 foul count now 

[Elessar]

Fairfield’s approach is the same as Mexia’s. No ball movement, one guy dribbles in to the paint throws it up, and hopes for a foul.

 

so far it’s working for them to keep them in the game 

[QB1]

Never seen a more one sided officiated game in my life!!! This is atrocious!!! If OF breathes on the it’s a foul!!! Pathetic!

Fairfield and stay in front of Scales but Bobcats getting exposed inside.  OF leads 66-64 with 1:13 left and the ball coming out of timeout.  

[TxHoops]

Scales gets fouled and hits his 3rd and 4th in a row to extend lead to 68-64.  Fairfield comes down and gets another easy basket inside 68-66 47ish seconds left.  Bobcats ball after timeout.

10-12 FTs in last few minutes of game too. Scales 6-6, Thomas 2-2, and Willis 2-4.  Fairfield really dominated the paint on the offensive end and weren’t terribly big.  Just a lot stronger.  Fortunately, they had no answer for OF’s guard play.

Extremely athletic Fairfield group. Came up just short against Yoakum in football and it’s almost all the same kids.

Definitely thought they were better than Mexia outside of #3
