Apologies again for the down time, but we're back with a look at last night's games, and will be back later on today with a look at tonight's games.

Last night, Fairfield took care of business and beat cross-town rival Sacred Heart for the second straight year. The good news for Fairfield, as Chris Elsberry writes, is that Herbie Allen had a solid game after disappearing in the season opener against Memphis. The other good news though, that four starters -- not including Allen -- were in double figures. If Greg Nero and Anthony Johnson are clicking as a one-two post punch and if Warren Edny is a consistent scorer at the 3, this will be a big year at Harbor Yard.

The box.

In Buffalo, Canisius lost a tough one when John Boyer's 3 gave local rival Buffalo a 69-64 win and sent the Golden Griffs to an 0-2 start.

Chris Gadley had 20 points off the bench and Frank Turner had 16 for the Griffs, but three of Canisius' starters combined for nine points. That can't happen if Tom Perrota's squad wants to turn thins around. Canisius' full-court pressure caused the Bulls some trouble, so expect to see more of that down the road.

Here's the box.

And in Boston, the most interesting -- and bizarre -- piece of news from Loyola's 75-63 loss to Cornell in the preseason NIT is that Jimmy Patsos essentially stopped coaching after receiving a first-half technical and even sat in the stands for about a minute of play in the second half.

Here's the box for that one.
