(December 14, 2014) - The Fordham University men's basketball squad will continue its 2014-2015 season, the 112th season of basketball at Rose Hill, on Sunday afternoon, December 14, as the Rams travel into Manhattan to face the St. John's University Red Storm in Madison Square Garden at 2:00 p.m. as part of the ECAC Holiday Festival,

At halftime, former Ram great Darryl Brown will be honored by the ECAC with a Special Achievement Award.
Brown was named Most Valuable Player of the 1974 ECAC Holiday Festival, after leading Fordham to an upset of fifth-ranked University of Southern California. Not only did the Rams knock off the powerful Trojans for the title, but they also posted a 17-point decision (83-66) and arguably one of the biggest wins in program history. Brown and his squad, which included All-Tournament Team selection Kevin Fallon, used their speed, pin-point shooting, and a stifling zone defense to ignite a crowd of over 11,000 fans at The Garden. Today, Brown serves as President of Brownboys3, Inc., and is a member of the Fordham University Board of Trustees.
Fordham enters the game with a 3-4 record following a 68-58 overtime win over Monmouth in the Rose Hill Gym on Wednesday. #24/RV St. John's enters the game with a 7-1 record after a 74-52 win over FDU in Carnesecca Arena on Wednesday.
Sunday afternoon's contest will be the 86
th meeting between Fordham and St. John's on the hardwood, the longest series in Fordham history. The Red Storm lead the all-time series, which started in 1909, 64-21, and won the past three games, including a victory last year at Madison Square Garden on December 7.
