The Fordham University Men’s Basketball team (11-13 overall and 3-8 in Atlantic 10 Conference) saw only the 5th Loss at Rose Hill Gym, which was a 93-76 score against Dayton.
There was a ton of electricity in the Bronx in a festive atmosphere in honor of Latin Night.
It was the rebounding performance and the shooting by Dayton that led the way for the Flyers.
There were a ton of milestones and good moments for the Rams, as prior to the start of the game the
University honored Jackie Johnson III for scoring his 1,000 point. Then during the course of the game there were two milestones achieved as Abdou Tsimbila got his 200th career block and Japhet Medor made it past the 1,000-point mark in his career.
Johnson is someone that is getting his name known across the Atlantic 10 conference, as he is ranked second in scoring with his 18.7 points.
There was also a highlight reel play for Josh Rivera around the 4:50 mark that is bound for the ESPN highlight reel.
