Some of Fordham's stats don't look too promising from our standpoint.
Pomeroy has them...
On defense
3rd in the nation out of 351 in steals
5th in 3 point defense
16th in blocks
On offense
34th in 3 point %
67th in offensive rebounds
I see a 25-point loss. Our leading scorer will be Keith Oddo with 6. One of our players will suffer a season-ending injury. Rob Jones will get two technicals and be ejected. We will be outrebounded by 31. Fordham will make a school record 28 three-pointers. Our team bus will break down on the way back to the airport home.
Can we delete "Back to the games" from the thread title?2011 glad to see you have gotten onboard with the sandbagging strategy...

If we lose to Fordham this board may meltdown.
Not so sure. Complacency might come into play since any hopes of a good year will be dashed. "I feel much better now that I have given up all hope."If we lose to Fordham this board may meltdown.
MeIf we lose to Fordham (which by the way I don't think will happen) - who will be the first person to start the "At least we have good kids AND we finish in the RPI top 100 we are in the top 30% of country" thread.
I saw the Fordham @ GW game. Fordham was missing 2 players and looked like Mooney Year 1. BUT they were a completely different team in the 2nd half and put a real scare into GW. If they play against us like they did in the second half of the GW game we are going to have to bring our A game to win on their home court.
I will volunteer to post "At least our SAT scores are higher".
Check Cal,Davidson,Fordham SAT scores before you start thread.
What purpose is served by bring up the academic card?
I truly hope so. That would be a very good thing.I went to see Creed this afternoon, the latest (and pretty darned good) segment of the Rocky saga. It may be worthwhile for the team to watch it, shortly before this game, since it certainly focuses nicely on "never quitting." Hope we bring a full effort to this game, which is definitely winnable, if we are focused and in "high-energy" mode. Strangely, this may be our "turning-point" game, for this season.
Great job 32. I know in past years we have had a strong Spiders contingent. I will only be myself and one other but once my voice recovers from my sons h.s. game last night plan to be vocal . Friends of mine had a niece that ran track at Fordham. Two years ago they cam with me and met her at the game and after she asks, what is going on, why were there so many Richmond fans.Invited 12 to game from NYC and CT.We will do our part.
