Daye was averaging 16.8 PPG.
That's a shame. Fordham finally looks decent and then they lose a key player. Has anyone heard about a reschedule date for our game there?
Odd timing on Daye leaving, as he led Fordham's scoring and hit the game winner one day before to beat Duquesne

^I think Daye had a heart to heart with himself and realized Fordham won’t be part of the A-10 next season.

All kidding aside, Kyle Neptune has been a hell of a hire and Fordham may finally say they have the right man for the job.

It goes to show you how quickly a good coaching hire can turn around a team in the A-10(even if it’s best player transfers...Soriano to St.Johns)

Wow, that sucks. I almost feel bad for them, but they've given us enough misery over the years.

No word yet on rescheduling UM at Fordham. We only have one opening left, between Sun 1/30 (home vs Mason) and Sat 2/5 (at Rhody). However, Fordham is booked that mid-week, they're home with Rhody on Wed 2/2. This one might not reschedule, no other decent options. The league might have to re-use the "best we can do" approach that they took last year.

So they chose to wedge it in. We now have 3 games in 5 days:
Sat 2/26 at VCU, 4:30
Mon 2/28 at Fordham, 7:00
Wed 3/2 vs Fordham, 7:00

Same applies to Fordham. They are at Davidson on 2/26 prior to the 2 games with us. I guess it's as fair as they could make it. I hope we get it in before Daye changes his mind and comes back. :D

Assuming all goes to plan, Fordham will also have 3 games in 5 days, so no advantage for either side. Fordham's travel might be a bit tougher as they go from playing Davidson in NC, to the Bronx, to Amherst, whereas we go from playing VCU in Amherst, to the Bronx, and back Amherst. Whatever the case, I'm glad we were able to reschedule this and hopefully we can get a full season in.

The women's team is in the midst of a similarly crammed schedule. Games on 1/12, 1/15, 1/17, 1/19, 1/22. Five games in 11 days.

Just saw that Fordham is still not allowing fans and will re evaluate the situation on January 31. So it looks like no fans at our game on the 28th. Too bad. I love pre game, half time and post game beers at Dagger Johns downstairs.

My mistake...I thought the Fordham games was 1/28 not 2/28. Still hope.
