Game 24, 2022-23: at Fordham (2/8)

[MikeUMA]

UM at Fordham, Wednesday at 7. SNY if you get it in your TV package, but ESPN+ will also have it.

"Fordham is too high" is no longer applicable. They're on a 5-game winning streak, their best A-10 streak since 2007. They took down SLU at Rose Hill this past Wednesday.

Fordham plays at Richmond today at noon on USA.

There will be a few members of #UMassTwitter, and at least one Board member, at Rose Hill on Wednesday. If you haven't got tickets yet, you might be out of luck. I just looked and it seems to be nearly sold out.

Rose Hill is actually selling out now.

I suppose you can’t just walk in anymore, you would need to buy tickets ahead of time now?

Edit: just read the last part of Mike’s post.. Fordham faithful is alive

let's try a little reverse psychology.. Fordam 85 Umass 70

Given Umass' road woes you are probably pretty close to the correct score Maz.

Ford hams 90 UM 60

It's good for the league that the NYC team is doing well. I wish we could be playing them with a healthy roster.

FYI, in conference play Fordham is shooting 27% from three. Richardson is at 54% and Moore is at 32%. You can imagine what the numbers are for the other guys. Is that enough of a scouting report or are we going to have a repeat of the Davidson game?

Inerestingly, they have a player from New Zealand, Zach Riley from Auckland. What are the chances that he and Gapare know each other?

[tdmass]

Unfortunately, Davidson came in shooting 31.7% from three and we were shooting around 35% before this game so I don't put a lot of value in stats!
We always manage to get somebody's best shot (I call it the "Cursed U"!), case in point, Kochera who was 7/9 on three's and 29 points vs us but had only scored 27 in his last 4 games!

Does anyone know where I can possibly snag a ticket? Thanks!

Very curious if any decision makers or donors at Fordham see the success, momentum, and brand awareness that even a moderately good season of hoops is doing for the school and decide to start investing more into the basketball program. No idea how feasible it is to renovate their facilities but there's really no reason for Fordham to be a cellar dweller in the A10 year after year.
