Tidbits: Fordham (for Tuesday 12/12 game).....

[BigEastPhil]

- Fordham is 4-5 so far this season.
- Only common opponent to date is Florida State to whom Fordham lost by 24 in a tourney in Jamaica.
- Most impressive win to date is against Manhattan at home winning by 13.
- Other "name" losses occurred vs Tulane (8 points) and to Harvard (2 points).
- Roster is full of international kids - 7 in total - from Czech Republic (2); Turkey; Montenegro; Cyprus and Quebec (2).
- Leading scorers are G Will Tavares (17 ppg) and C/F Prokip Slaniak - (12.6 PPG).
- HC is Jeff Neubauer formerly HC of Eastern Kentucky from several years ago and an assistant under Beilein when Beilein was at Richmond and WVU (Big East). Some may remember Neubauer as a PG for LaSalle in the early 90's under Speedy Morris.

I believe we have a 5 year deal in place with Fordham for which Tuesday's game is Year 2 and next year we play Fordham at their place.

Never overlook any opponent. But if we don't win by 20+ we're gonna have a problem with the pirates

Games like these give coach P a chance to try different combos
and give some of our marginal guys more confidence maybe

I like playing local teams like Fordham, Princeton, Manhattan, NYU, Columbia etc
Keeps us on peoples radar

We should beat Fordham with some ease IF we bring the D immediately

So we're going to play them at Rose Hill and not at the Garden as part of some kind of double-header? Would be very interesting to see RU play in that old bandbox where it would probably be cheap and easy to get great seats just a couple of rows from the court.

We're gonna have a problem with the Pirates whether or not we beat Fordham by 20+.

Former Rutgers target Chuba Ohams plays for Fordham.

What if we just play a bad game against Fordham? How does that impact us against SHU?

No impact whatsoever. Every game is its own animal.
