Fordham also announced the addition of a game with Fairfield to be played on December 11th at 7:00 p.m. in the Rose Hill Gym.

The Rams will open their season on Friday, November 14th, as they host Columbia University in the Rose Hill Gym, the first of seven non-conference games slated for the historic venue.

Eight of Fordham's 2008-09 Atlantic 10 opponents saw postseason action last year with four teams appearing in the NCAA Tournament: Xavier (who advanced to the Elite Eight last year and who the Rams meet twice this winter), Saint Joseph's, Temple and Villanova. Three other 2008-09 conference foes received bids to the NIT (Charlotte, Massachusetts and Rhode Island) and one other appeared in the inaugural College Basketball Invitational (Richmond).

Fordham's Atlantic 10 schedule includes home-and-home games with Xavier, Rhode Island and St. Bonaventure, as well as home dates with Duquesne, Massachusetts, Richmond, Saint Joseph's and Saint Louis. The Rams will also play five Atlantic 10 schools on the road in 2008-09, including a game at defending conference champions, Temple. The Rams will also travel to Charlotte, Dayton, George Washington and La Salle. The top 12 Atlantic 10 teams will advance to the Atlantic 10 Championship Tournament that will be held in Atlantic City from March 11-14, 2009.
