The Fordham Rams come into this matchup with a 7-11 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent home game against the George Washington Colonials, 59-54. Leading the way for the Fordham Rams was sophomore guard Jalen Cobb as he recorded 22 points and 6 rebounds. Joining Cobb in the backcourt was sophomore guard Ty Perry who had a productive outing for the Rams with 13 points.

The Fordham Rams had a solid shooting game against the George Washington Colonials as they connected on 20 of their 47 field goal attempts (42.6%), and they were even better from behind the three-point line (45%). The Fordham Rams lost the turnover battle against the George Washington Colonials (16-13), but they edged out the Colonials in the rebounding department (36-35).

The Saint Louis Billikens come into this matchup with a 14-5 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the Davidson Wildcats, 71-59. Leading the way for the Saint Louis Billikens was junior forward Javonte Perkins as he recorded 25 points and 3 rebounds off the bench.

The Saint Louis Billikens are a wildcard in the A-10 as they very well can make a run and win the conference, but they have struggled as of recent with 2 consecutive losses. The Billikens shouldn’t have much of a problem getting back on track against the Fordham Rams as they currently sit towards the bottom of the conference with a 1-5 record, and the Rams biggest downfall has been scoring as they only average 54.5 PPG in A-10 games. The Billikens calling card has been their effort on the defensive side of the court as they are holding opponents to an average of 65.8 PPG, and they will make life tough for the Rams. Saint Louis has shown a good amount of scoring depth as three different guys are averaging over 12 PPG, but they have also been one of the top-rebounding teams in the country as Jordan Goodwin and Hasahn French are both averaging over 10 RPG. The Billikens will be tough to crack on the defensive side of the court, and they will find enough scoring off their defense to win this game big. Final Score Prediction, Saint Louis Billikens win and cover ATS 74-56.
