Nice article. Thanks for posting. I’m an oddball Fairfield fan who jumped on the bandwagon a couple years ago after watching them play a game against Vandy. After falling behind by double digits in the second half, the Stags just kept grinding and had my Commodores on the ropes by the end of the game. Vandy escaped with the win, but, by the end, I was left cheering for the clock to run faster.
From day one as Commodore coach, Shea Ralph has talked about consistency, both in terms effort and performance. After the Fairfield game, she sang the praises of the Stags and used them as an example of the consistency she had been talking about. She noted they never wavered from the plan and just kept grinding.
I enjoyed watching coach Thibault-DuDonis’ team so much that I watched the replay of just about every game the rest of the season (ESPN+ is a miracle for basketball fans). Janelle Brown and Meaghan Anderson were, and are, the proverbial dynamic duo. I just truly enjoy the team’s style of play. If Brown has fully recovered, I think they have a chance to make that deeper run in the NCAA tourney this year, though, realistically, they need a better bracket than they got last year, Kansas State was a terrible draw.
