Atlantic 10 Announces Men's Basketball 2017-2018 Schedule Pairings

Atlantic 10 Release
 
Newport News, Va. (June 7, 2017) - The Fordham University men's team learned its 2017-2018 Atlantic 10 pairings from the league office today, including the home-and-home parings for the Rams.
 
For the fourth straight year, the Fordham men's Atlantic 10 schedule will consist of 18 games, nine home and nine away, with the Rams facing five opponents in a home-and-home series. Third-year head coach Jeff Neubauer's squad will face Davidson, Duquesne, La Salle, Saint Joseph's, and VCU twice during the 2017-2018 season.
 

In addition to the home games with Davidson, Duquesne, La Salle, Saint Joseph's, and VCU, the Rams will host George Mason, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Richmond in the historic Rose Hill Gym. Last year, Fordham was one of four Atlantic 10 teams to have a winning record in conference road games (5-4) with the five road conference wins tying the squad with the 2006-2007 team for most A-10 road wins in a season.

Besides the return trips to Davidson, Duquesne, La Salle, Saint Joseph's, and VCU, Fordham will play Atlantic 10 Conference road contests at Dayton, George Washington, St. Bonaventure, and Saint Louis in 2017-2018.
 
The A-10 is coming off a season in which six teams reached the postseason. It was the 10th year in a row and 32nd time overall that the A-10 earned at least three bids into the NCAA Tournament and the 12th straight year an Atlantic 10 had a team advance to the Round of 32. Rhode Island, which advanced to the NCAA Second Round, won its first conference title since 1999.   
 
The complete 2017-2018 conference schedule with dates and times, as well as national television information, will be released later. There will be 126 conference games this upcoming season which will allow teams to face each league opponent once and five teams twice. The 2018 Atlantic 10 Men's Basketball Championship will be played March 7-11, 2018 at Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.
