Fairfield went on a scoring tear that put the Stags up by 18 at one point, and the Crimson’s offense could not respond. The clock ran out and the game ended in a Stags victory, at 73-57. “We need to talk more on the court and actually listen to each other,” Rollins said. “We need to not get into our heads too much...
