Bronx, N.Y. –  The Fordham University Rams continue the 2021-2022 Atlantic 10 season, Fordham's 119th varsity season, by hosting the University of Massachusetts Minutemen in the historic Rose Hill Gym on Monday, February 28, at 7:00 p.m.
 
The game will be broadcast on SNY and streamed on ESPN+ with Michael Watts (PxP) and Andrew Bogusch (analyst) announcing as well as broadcast on WFUV (90.7 FM) and www.wfuvsports.org with Nick DeLuca (PxP) and Ryan Gregware (analyst) behind the mics.
 
Fordham enters the game with a 13-14 overall record, 6-9 in the Atlantic 10, after a conference loss at Davidson on Saturday afternoon, while Massachusetts enters the game with a 12-15 overall record, 5-10 in the conference, after a 77-62 Atlantic 10 loss to VCU in Amherst on Saturday.
 
Monday night's contest will be the 50th meeting between Fordham and Massachusetts on the hardwood. The Minutemen lead the all-time series, which started in the 1967-68 season, 32-17. UMass took both of last year's meetings, 65-46, on January 17 in the Rose Hill Gym as Tre Mitchell scored 24 points and grabbed eight rebounds while Joel Soriano paced the Rams with 12 points and 12 rebounds, and 60-54 in Amherst on February 3 as Javohn Garcia scored 14 for the Minutemen while Josh Colon-Navarro led all scorers for the Rams with 17.
