Riding the momentum of their victory over Charlotte in the Atlantic 10 opener, the Fordham Rams Women’s Basketball program used the friendly confines of the Rose Hill Gym to continue their best start ever in conference play. The Rams sit atop the A-10 standings at 3-0 with the nationally ranked Dayton Flyers and the Duquesne Dukes.
The Fordham Rams are now 1-2 in Atlantic 10 play. On Saturday, Fordham Men’s Basketball Head Coach Tom Pecora stopped by the WFUV Studios to discuss the state of his squad.
Heading into their game at Charlotte, Fordham knew they were up for a tough test. The 49ers entered the game with 14-2 record and had held their opponents to just 36.5% shooting, which ranked them tenth in the entire country. When it was all said and done, Fordham hung extremely close late in the game, but it was the 49ers who came away with a 74-68 victory.
The Fordham Rams are coming off of a big win over Duquesne at the Rose Hill Gym. For the Rams, it was the first time since 2005 that they have won their A10 opener.
Fordham Athletic Director David Roach called into One on One on Saturday, January 12th to talk about the state of Fordham Athletics. This was the first edition of what will be a monthly occurrence. Roach will talk to us on One on One on the first Saturday of every month.
The Fordham Rams are 1-0 in conference play for the first time in 7 years. Fordham wrapped up an 82-75 win against Duquesne on Wednesday night in the Bronx, and it was a career night for Branden Frazier. The Ram point guard set a new career high in assists with 13 to go along with 16 points.
On the morning after the Rams 95-68 loss to the Ole Miss Rebels, I caught up with Head Coach Tom Pecora just before the team hopped on their plane back to New York.
In their first ever game in the state of Mississippi, the Fordham Rams were beaten by the Ole Miss Rebels 95-68. With the loss, the Rams end their non-conference schedule with a record of 4-11.
The Fordham Rams closed out the 2012 calendar year the right away, defeating the Monmouth Hawks 82-71 at the Rose Hill Gym on New Year’s Eve. With the win, the Rams have now won three out of their last five games. That may not sound like much, but the team has shown much improvement since their 1-8 start.
Fordham committed 14 turnovers in a very sloppy first half. Those turnovers, combined with the fact that Chris Gaston and Branden Frazier, the team’s two top scorers, combined for just 8 first half points, had the Rams down 33-28 at intermission.
The Fordham Rams fell to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 73-48 in what was only the third time in school history that the Rams played in the state of Georgia. The Rams battled and kept it close early, but the home team from the ACC pounded the Rams in the second half on the way to a dominating win.
As they have done all season, the Yellow Jackets relied on a balanced offensive attack. Big men Daniel Miller and Robert Carter, Jr. had their way down low, combining for 28 points and 10 rebounds. Georgia Tech also capitalized on 14 Fordham turnovers.
