The Fordham Rams are off to a strong start this season with 15 wins already and have shown toughness in the Atlantic Ten with some quality wins. On Saturday, Fordham came from behind to beat Duquesne on the road by the score of 65-58. It marked the first time since 2007 that Fordham has won consecutive road games in Atlantic 10 play. Also, the Rams are now .500 in league play through six games for the first time since 2007. Khalid Moore led the way with 19 points and seven rebounds for Fordham. Darius Quisenberry chipped in with 14 points, including 12 in the second half as the Rams took over. Fordham's defense held the high-powered Duquesne 3pt shooting attack to just 18% from the floor.

Fordham has really gotten after it from the defensive end this season which, in part, helps explain the team's success on the road; defense plays everywhere. The Rams are ranked 106th in the country in scoring defense. They are an impressive 53rd in the nation in opponent's field goal percentage. Fordham is also 121st in 3pt defense. The team is also 69th in the country in total rebounding. Offensively, Fordham is 138th in scoring offense this season. The Rams are just 266th in field goal percentage and 225th in 3pt field goal percentage. They can be sloppy as well, ranked just 284th in turnovers per game.
Key Injuries: G Zach Riley is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game.
