Fairfield University Men's Basketball and Leo D. Mahoney Arena have been selected to host a "MAAC Wildcard" game live on ESPNU on Thursday, Feb. 6. The nationally televised home game against visiting Marist is set for a 7 p.m. tip-off.

Tickets for the Feb. 6 contest are on sale now at FairfieldStags.com/TIX. Admission is free for Fairfield students via the Super Stags app.

The MAAC Wildcard Game format allows ESPN to pick any game scheduled for that specific date to air on ESPNU and allows the MAAC and ESPN the flexibility to showcase the best matchups as the season progresses. Future MAAC wildcard matchups will be announced at later dates.

Fairfield will be making its second national television appearance of the season. The Nov. 9 contest at Georgetown aired nationally on FS2, and the Stags also made back-to-back regional TV appearances on SNY in games at Monmouth and Columbia in late December.

The Stags participated in three MAAC Wildcard games in 2023-24 as a part of six total appearances on the ESPN family of linear networks during that campaign.

Next Thursday's game will be the second time that Leo D. Mahoney Arena has played host to an ESPNU telecast. The Stags welcomed Canisius last March, earning a 74-62 Senior Night win before a national television audience.
