Bronx, N.Y. – The Fordham University Rams continue the 2022-2023 season, Fordham's 120th varsity season, and continue Atlantic 10 play by traveling to Richmond, Va., to face the University of Richmond Spiders in the Robins Center on Sunday, February 5 at 12:00 p.m.
Join the
Ramses Challenge, a new 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.
The game will be televised on USA Network with Steve Schlanger (PxP) and Tim McCormick (analyst) announcing as well as broadcast on
www.wfuvsports.org with Sam Davis (PxP) and Ryan Gregware (analyst) behind the mics.
Sunday afternoon's contest will be the 32nd meeting between Fordham and Richmond on the hardwood with the Spiders leading the all-time series, which started in 1985, 23-8. Richmond has won the past four match-ups, including an 83-70 win last year on January 18 in the Rose Hill Gym as Jacob Gilyard scored a game-high 31 points for the Spiders while
Darius Quisenberry had 23 for the Rams.
