Fordham Rams

This week’s most important games

George Washington did themselves a huge favor this week when picking up an unexpected road win over what was the league’s hottest team: VCU. Doing so kept GW within the league’s top-four while dropping the Rams into a tie for first with Dayton. Every game is important (see: Dayton at La Salle, GW at SLU), …

Whoooooooa…we’re halfway there

Bon Jovi’s “Slippery When Wet” album was the first album I ever owned. It was a gift for my sixth birthday in 1986 and included such hits as “You Give Love a Bad Name”, “Wanted Dead or Alive” and a song that would serve as the anthem for George Mason’s magical Final 4 run some …

Fordham needs a breakthrough win

There are three games tonight and three double-digit favorites: SLU is a 17-point dog at Dayton, UMass is getting 13.5 at Saint Joseph’s and Fordham heads to Kingston a 10-point underdog to Dan Hurley’s squad. Needless to say, I like none of the road teams tonight. However, if I’m Lloyd Christmas, I’m saying there’s a chance with Neubauer’s Rams …

A look back and a look ahead

Winter storm Jonas did its best to slow down A-10 play this week including a red-hot VCU team. While the storm may have delayed a number of games, thousands of brave fans forged through snow-covered roads along the East Coast to take in some great Atlantic 10 action this weekend while others will get their chance …

Keeping Blocks In Play

Entering tonight’s games, every team in the Atlantic 10 boasts a higher offensive effective field goal percentage in transition opportunities than they net in the halfcourt. That shouldn’t come as a major surprise. Beating the defense down the floor will usually produce better scoring chances as defenders scramble to pick up assignments. Preying on that …

Spiders look to avoid falling behind, Chartouny shines and predicting the A-10’s last conference unbeaten

We’re two games in, I know, but imagine you are one of the four winless teams in the conference and are heading to Rose Hill for a tricky game against Fordham (10-3) before returning home for back-to-back contests against VCU and Davidson, then have to hit the road again for a quick two-game roadie at …

Wild first week opens Atlantic 10 play

“You’re never as good as you look in your best win or as bad as you look in your worst loss” That is without a doubt one of my favorite sports sayings and one that rings especially true for George Washington this morning. After a 10-1 start to their season including a home upset of then-No.6 UVA …

A-10 stock watch: The Neubauer effect, Richmond rising, plus conference risers and fallers

The year was 2015. It was a Tuesday like any other Tuesday in October, except…things were about to get weird. As I sat down for this year’s “Best of the Worst” rankings I dug through the schedules, reviewed the rosters and felt a weird tingling feeling in the bottom of my Atlantic 10. That feeling …

Instant Reaction: A-10 Preseason rankings and awards

Today is one of the absolute BEST days of the college basketball season. Why? Because it’s the point of the season when the rhetoric is highest while the proof on the floor is next to non-existent. That makes for some great preseason debate, and with today’s official 2015-16 preseason rankings and All-Conference Selections, that’s exactly what …

One hack’s guess at next season’s A-10 starting fives

We’re one day closer to the 2014-14 college basketball season yet still over five months away from the first official whistle. That gives us plenty of time to speculate and while we’re doing so we might as well take a stab at every team’s starting five. Davidson G – Brian Sullivan 5’11 175 junior G – …
