Current Records: Fordham 9-5; Saint Louis 10-5
What to Know
The Fordham Rams are 1-5 against the Saint Louis Billikens since February of 2016, but they’ll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Saturday. Fordham and Saint Louis will face off in an Atlantic 10 battle at 2:30 p.m. ET at Chaifetz Arena. The Rams should still be riding high after a win, while Saint Louis will be looking to right the ship.
Fordham escaped with a win on Wednesday against the Duquesne Dukes by the margin of a single free throw, 72-71. Fordham got double-digit scores from four players: guard Antonio Daye Jr. (16), guard Darius Quisenberry (16), forward Chuba Ohams (14), and guard Kyle Rose (13). Kyle Rose’s performance made up for a slower game against the La Salle Explorers two weeks ago.
Meanwhile, the Billikens were within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap on Tuesday as they fell 68-63 to the Dayton Flyers. A silver lining for Saint Louis was the play of guard Gibson Jimerson, who had 23 points.
Saint Louis’ defeat took them down to 10-5 while Fordham’s victory pulled them up to 9-5. In Fordham’s win, Chuba Ohams almost dropped a triple-double on 16 boards, 14 points, and eight blocks and Rose had 13 points in addition to five rebounds. We’ll see if Saint Louis have a strategy for dealing with them or if they lead their team to another successful outing.
