The atmosphere at the Rose Hill Gym Saturday evening was the way it should be every game, and Fordham gave the sell-out crowd many reasons to cheer. But they couldn't finish off the upset of #11 Butler at home, losing 68-63. Fordham has now lost six straight contests, and this once certainly bites.
Tom Pecora joined me in his weekly Fordham Focus spot on One on One Saturday afternoon. We spoke mainly about the growth of this team in its previous two games, a 4 point loss to St. Joe's and a 3 point win against URI. Pecora agrees that Branden Frazier has used Chris Gaston's absence to his advantage in terms of his growth as leader of the team.
Fordham used the crowd, and some veteran leadership to propel them a 66-63 victory over Rhode Island on Saturday at the Rose Hill Gym. Like the last home game the Rams played against UMass, the battle of the Rams went right down the wire and foul shooting was the key.
Kenny Ducey and Mack Rosenberg breakdown all the games this weekend in the Divisional Round of the Playoffs. The Kenny makes a bold claim about the 49ers and Mack tells you why the New England-Houston matchup will be another snoozefest. The guys give their predictions and touch on other hot topics around the league including: Tuesday's Jets press conference, the RGIII injury and the coaching carousel.
The Fordham Rams (3-9) notched their third victory of the season by defeating the Siena Saints (2-9) at home on Sunday , 81-75.
This past Saturday on One on One, Mack Rosenberg and DJ Sixsmith had the opportunity to talk football with Manish Mehta and Gary Myers both of the New York Daily News.
Sitting at 2-9 through 11 games, it is clear that the 2012-2013 season has not been an easy one for Fordham Men’s Basketball Head Coach Tom Pecora.
The Fordham Rams (2-9) were defeated by the Connecticut Huskies (9-2) in Hartford on Friday night, 88-73. UConn led by 29 at the half and seemingly never looked back. Ryan Boatwright has 26 points for the Huskies, as did Branden Frazier for Fordham, good for a career high.
After opening up the season at 1-4 on the road, the Rams were eager to give a packed Rose Hill Gym a win in their first home game. Instead, they suffer a tough loss to the Manhattan Jaspers in a game they led in the middle of the second half.
In the final edition of Monday Night Quarterback 2012, Rams head coach Joe Moorhead talks about the key plays in the season finale against Colgate. He also reflects on his first season as head coach and the furture of Fordham Football.
