BRONX, N.Y. – The Fordham University Rams continue the 2023-2024 season, Fordham's 121st varsity season, by hosting the FDU Knights in the historic Rose Hill Gym on Thursday, November 30, at 7:00 p.m.
Join the Ramses Challenge, a philanthropic initiative supporting our student-athletes. Pledge a set amount for each rebound, offensive rebound, steal, or assist. All proceeds are tax-deductible and go directly to the men's basketball program. There is also an option to make a one-time gift to men's basketball.
It is Fordham's Dunks After Work game with free tickets available for faculty and staff, as they are invited to hang around after work for our Nov. 30 contest against last year's NCAA Tournament darlings.
The game will be broadcast live on SNY and streamed on ESPN+ with Andrew Bogusch (PxP), Andrew Posadas (analyst), and Maria Trivelpiece (sidelines) announcing as well as broadcast on WFUV (90.7 FM) and on the
WFUV Sports YouTube page with Lou Orlando (PxP) and Colin Loughran (analyst) behind the mics.
Fordham enters the game with a 3-3 record and is coming off a 93-61 win over Manhattan College in the Rose Hill in the annual Battle of the Bronx on Monday night while FDU is 4-4 on the season after a 97-86 loss to Robert Morris at the
Urban-Bennett Memorial Classic at Robert Morris on Sunday.
Thursday night's contest will be the fourth meeting between the Rams and the Knight on the hardwood. The Rams have taken the first three meetings, including a 53-50 win in the Rose Hill Gym on November 13, 2019, in the most recent meeting between the two schools.
