The Fordham Men’s Basketball team (17-14, 8-10 Atlantic 10 Conference) are currently the No 8 seeded team and going to face No. 9 George Washington as they head into the Conference Tournament.
During the month of February, the guys were on a roll as they defeated Saint Joseph’s University, the University of Rhode Island, Loyola University and Davidson.
To finish up the regular season in the Battle of the Rams, it was Fordham coming on top with a victory of 61-49 on March 7.
Leading the way for the guys was Dejour Reaves with his 17 points and four rebounds, along with Rikus Schulte had a double-double with 12 points and 13 rebounds in addition to three assists. Abass Bodija had himself an impressive night with ten points and four rebounds.
Heading into the Conference Tournament the guys are going to face a very familiar squad in George Washington as the two teams played earlier in the year.
In the meeting on January 31 it was the Rams seeing a 79-65 victory in the lone meeting of the year.
Reaves shined in that game in January with his team leading 19 points and six assist as he was followed by Christian Henry, having 15 points.
These two teams always play fairly competitively when it comes time for facing each other, even though George Washington does have a 4-2 edge when it comes time for Atlantic 10 play.
The last time these two teams met in the postseason it was George Washington getting the victory with the score of 88-81.
