Fordham has been below average on both ends of the court this season as the Rams come into this game ranked 214^th in scoring offense, 307^th in FG%, & 176^th in scoring defense. George Washington has really struggled on both ends of the court as the Colonials come into this game ranked just 309^th in scoring offense, 287^th in FG%, & 252^nd in scoring defense.

Fordham is the better team in this one, however, but between the fact that the Rams are just 2-4 on the road and have some question marks with some key contributors in Antonio Daye Jr. & Chuba Ohams. George Washington has a winning record at home and a solid go-to scoring option in James Bishop and as I think the Colonials will be able to pick up a win here, I’m taking the Colonials and the points. Good Luck!
