Bronx, N.Y. – The Fordham University Rams continue the 2021-2022 season, Fordham's 119th varsity season, by hosting the University of St. Thomas Tommies in the historic Rose Hill gym on Monday, November 15, at 7:00 p.m.
 
The game will be broadcast live on ESPN+, with Mike Watts (p-b-p) and Andrew Posadas (color) announcing, and streamed on www.wfuvsports.org with Nick DeLuca (p-b-p) and Ryan Gregware (color) behind the mics.
 
Fordham enters the game with a 1-1 record after a 66-60 loss at Manhattan College on Friday night while St. Thomas is also 1-1 on the season after a 91-73 win at St. Francis (NY) College on Saturday.
 
Monday night's contest will be the first meeting between Fordham and St. Thomas on the hardwood. The Tommies, who compete in the Summit League, are in their first season as a Division I program.
 
Notes
 
• After missing most of the 2020-2021 season, graduate student forward Chuba Ohams has wasted little time displaying that he was back, recording a double-double in each of the first two games.
 
• Ohams started with 13 points and a career-high 15 rebounds in the season-opening win over Columbia and then bettered his career-high with 18 rebounds to go with 17 points at Manhattan.
 
• Fordham head coach Kyle Neptune became the first Fordham head men's basketball coach to win in his debut since 1986.
 
• It will be the Rams first meeting with a school from the Summit League.
 
• St. Thomas made the jump from Div. III to Div. I this year.
 
• The NCAA allowed the Tommies to bypass the 12-year process to move from Div. III to Div. I.
 
• UST is the first school to make the two-level jump since the current rules were put in place in 2010.
