BRONX, N.Y. (March 4, 2025) – The Fordham men's basketball team will take the floor at the Rose Hill Gym for the final time this season when the Rams welcome the George Washington Revolutionaries on Wednesday night.
 
Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. on SNY and ESPN+ with  Andrew Bogusch and Jason Crafton handling broadcasting duties.  An audio broadcast can also be found on 90.7 FM WFUV and the WFUV Sports YouTube page with Lou Orlando, Nick Guzman and Chaz McAdams narrating the action.
 
Fordham (11-18, 3-13) will look to snap a six-game skid when it hosts GW (19-11, 8-9) in the first meeting of the season between the two squads.  The Rams dropped their most recent decision to Saint Joe's, 90-76, on Saturday afternoon in the Rose Hill Gym.  Fordham connected on 10 of its 25 3-point attempts and grabbed 21 offensive boards, but found it difficult to ground the Hawks' high-flying offense, as Saint Joe's shot 57.1% from the field and went 18-of-20 from the charity stripe.
 
Against the Hawks, Jackie Johnson III tallied a team-high 18 points on 7-of-17 shooting, including a 3-for-6 showing from beyond the arc.  Entering the week, Johnson leads the team and ranks second in the league in scoring at 18.6 points per game.  The last Fordham player to average more than 18.6 points per contest over the course of an entire season was Joe Paterno, the Rams' fourth leading scorer all-time, who posted 20.0 points per game in 1988-89.  Johnson has made 76 3-pointers on the year, good enough for the sixth highest single-season total in program history.  He is three triples away from tying Jason Harris (79, 2000-01) in fifth and 20 behind Andre McClendon's single-season record of 96 set in 1989-90.
 
Three other Rams finished in double figures against Saint Joe's.  Josh Rivera scored 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting while Jahmere Tripp added 12 points, three rebounds and three assists.  Romad Dean posted 11 points on 4-of-7 shooting to go along with a game-high eight boards. 

Japhet Medor finished with nine points on Saturday, marking just the second time in his last 15 games that the graduate student failed to reach double figures.  In conference play, Medor ranks 10^th in the league in scoring (15.6 ppg), third in assists (4.8 apg) and third in assist-to-turnover ratio (3.0).
 
Fordham enters Wednesday's game with a record of 8-7 this season inside the Rose Hill Gym.  A win over the Revolutionaries would secure the program's third winning record at home in the last four seasons, including an 18-2 mark during the 2022-23 campaign that saw the Rams win more home games than any other team in the country.
 
GW enters the week with a record of 19-11, including an 8-9 mark in conference play.  The Revolutionaries have won two of their last three and four of their last seven after taking down La Salle, 71-60, at home on Saturday evening.  In that game, Rafael Castro posted a 22-point, 16-rebound double-double, his 13^th of the season.  The Providence transfer has been enjoying a breakout season in Foggy Bottom, averaging 13.9 points and 9.3 boards, both of which lead the squad and the latter of which tops the league.
 
Fordham and GW will meet for the 45^th time in the history of the two programs.  The Revolutionaries lead the series, which began back in 1914-15, 31-13.  Fordham, however, has won each of its last three contests against GW, including a three-overtime thriller last year in the nation's capital. In 55 minutes of action, the Rams scored 119 points, tied for the second-highest single-game total in program history, and sank a school-record 19 3-pointers.  Medor was one of three Rams in double figures in that game, posting a team-high 24 points. 
 
Fordham will wrap the regular season on Saturday, March 8, with a 2 p.m. tilt at Rhode Island.  The Rams will then begin play at the Atlantic 10 Tournament on Wednesday, March 12, at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.
