In a do or die game for the Rams on Wednesday night, Fordham failed to live up to the same motto that caps off its fight song, falling to URI 78-58 on the road. The loss ended the maroon and white's hopes at its first Atlantic 10 tournament berth in four seasons.
The Rose Hill Gym has helped push Fordham over the hump in one heart-stopping game after the next this season. Of their eight home wins in 2011-2012, five have been by six points or fewer.

Coming off a 44-point loss to St. Bonaventure on Saturday, one could have easily predicted that Wednesday night’s game against Richmond could not possibly go any worse. That hypothetical prognosticator would prove at least partially correct, as the Rams fell by 44 once again, dropping a 102-58 decision to the Spiders in the Robins Center.
