Once Upon A Time In Las Vegas – Wildcard Edition
The Fordham Rams head to Philly to face Atlantic 10 rival, the LaSalle Explorers on Saturday afternoon. The Rams are 13-4 overall and 1-3 in the conference while the Explorers are 8-8 overall and 2-1 in the conference. Fordham has beaten LaSalle in the last three meetings between the two, including two wins last season. Tipoff is at 3:00 p.m. EST at the Tom Gola Arena in Philadelphia.
The Fordham Rams rolled through their mostly easy nonconference schedule, although they did take on SEC powerhouse Arkansas and lost. But other than that, and a win over Tulane, they mostly played lesser teams and mid majors. It allowed them to roll to a 12-1 record before stepping foot in the Atlantic 10. Since then they are 1-3, giving them a record of 13-4 overall and 1-3 in the conference.
