BRONX – The Fordham University Rams continue the 2025-2026 Atlantic 10 season, Fordham's 123rd season of basketball, on Saturday, January 31, as they travel to the Nation's Capital to face the George Washington University Revolutionaries in the Smith Center at 2:00 p.m.
 
The game will be broadcast on ESPN+ with Byron Kerr (PxP) and Jimmy Patsos (analyst) announcing as well as broadcast on WFUV (90.7 FM) and the WFUV Sports YouTube page with Chris Carrino (PxP) and Brendan Shorey (analyst) behind the mics.
 
Fordham enters the game with a 11-10 record, 2-6 in the Atlantic 10, after a 64-58 A-10 win over La Salle in the Rose Hill Gym on Wednesday night while George Washington is 13-8 on the season, 4-4 in the conference, following a 79-76 A-10 loss at Saint Louis last Tuesday night.
