Quinnipiac at Fairfield

Quinnipiac is a big dog again, but playing well. Quinnipiac hung in with an impressive effort on the glass, outrebounding Monmouth 57-43, two games ago with 27 of its rebounds coming on the offensive end. The 27 offensive boards were a season high for the Bobcats, who now lead the nation in that category at 18.1 per game. The last game they crushed Niagra, 82-68, as Quinnipiac totaled 19 assists and had only five turnovers. Over the last six seasons, Quinnipiac is an impressive 38-10 in February games (.792), all of which have come against conference opponents as it has typically made a late push up its conference standings.
