Friday's Marist-Fairfield game will be a battle for first place in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC). Both the Red Foxes and Stags currently have 11-1 conference records. In the teams' previous meeting on Jan. 12, Marist earned a 59-47 road victory. The Red Foxes have won eight consecutive MAAC regular-season championships, and have earned six consecutive MAAC Tournament championships.

The Red Foxes joined Louisville, Auburn and Virginia as schools to win the Pack the House Challenge. Marist is the only school in the country to record a sellout in its Pack the House Game each of the previous four years.
