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.
