Offline 12:00pm EST tip on Saturday 02/10/2018 at the AJ Palumbo Center Offline I always appreciate the pre-game Phoenix. Offline --Fordham is the second worst Offensive rebounding team in America which can be expected when you run the Beilien style offense they are known to run, but you better be able to shoot it from deep in that offense and the Rams are ranked 343/351 from 3 this season at 29.4%. Two things. Offline Two things. Thanks for the info Offline According to stat broadcast Krivacevic starting in place of TV today Last edited by Phildog (2/10/2018 11:57 am) Offline Krivacevic starting!!! Offline What's with the weird looking dark uniforms at home? Offline Lifeless , dispirited effort thus far. Offline If they can't play better against a team that has 8 guys dressed including walk ons, then yeah there's some issues here Offline Terrible so far.

Re: Game Thread - Fordham Rams (home)
This one would have read a lot better had we not been included among Fordham's worst losses.
Re: Game Thread - Fordham Rams (home)
--The defense for the Dukes stood at 84.2 points per 100 possessions after the Fordham win. The following nine games, the defense has been 110.4 per 100 possessions.
--Ideally the Dukes will value the ball and in turn punish Fordham, but at this point in the season I think it is more realistic that they'll commit a few more turnovers than you'd like to see. Hopefully they aren't live ball turnovers to give the struggling Rams offense some easy baskets.
--The 6'10 Slanina gave us some issues in the first matchup and led the scoring for Fordham in their comeback win over Mason on Wednesday.
--Fordham isn't playing seven guys at most at this point and essentially played six on Wednesday.
-Dukes need this game, should get this game and will then get their needed bye week before next Saturday @ St. Joe's.

1. There is a monster truck rally at PPG at 1:00
So prepare for traffic.
2. Please stay for the women’s game. I don’t like DH because I think it’s hard to commit to 4.5 hours of Basketball. But please stay.
