Bronx, N.Y. – The Fordham University Rams continue the 2020 Atlantic 10 season, Fordham's 117th varsity season, by hosting the St. Bonaventure University Bonnies in the historic Rose Hill Gym on Wednesday, January 29, at 7:00 p.m.
The game will be streamed live on the ESPN+ with Mike Watts (play-by-play) and Darwin Zook (color) on the call, and broadcast live on WFUV (90.7 FM) with Emmanuel Berbari (play-by-play) and Andrew Posadas (color) announcing.
Fordham enters the game with a 7-12 record, 1-6 in the Atlantic 10, and is coming off a 55-39 A-10 loss at Saint Louis University in Chaifetz Arena on Sunday afternoon while St. Bonaventure is 12-8 overall on the year, 4-3 in the conference, and is coming off an 81-75 league loss to Rhode Island in the Reilly Center on Saturday afternoon.
