The George Washington Colonials are set to visit Rose Hill Gymnasium in Bronx, New York for an A-10 clash against the Fordham Rams. The George Washington Colonials come into this matchup with an 8-10 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent road game against the UMass Minutemen, 75-51. Leading the way for the George Washington Colonials was senior guard Armel Potter as he recorded 22 points, 5 assists, and 4 rebounds. Joining Potter in the backcourt was junior guard Maceo Jack who had a productive outing for the Colonials as he pitched in 20 points.

The George Washington Colonials had a good shooting game against the UMass Minutemen as they connected on 25 of their 49 field goal attempts (51%), and they were good from behind the three-point line (46.7%). The George Washington Colonials lost the turnover battle against the UMass Minutemen (13-11), but they edged out the Minutemen in the rebounding department (33-26).

The Fordham Rams come into this matchup with a 6-11 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent home game against the Davidson Wildcats, 74-62. Leading the way for the Fordham Rams was sophomore forward Onyi Eyisi as he recorded 17 points, 3 steals, and 2 blocks. Sophomore guard Ty Perry had a productive outing for the Rams as he pitched in 13 points and 4 assists.

The Fordham Rams had a solid shooting game against the Davidson Wildcats as they connected on 24 of their 54 field goal attempts (44.4%), but they were slightly worse from behind the three-point line (34.8%). The Fordham Rams won the turnover battle against the Davidson Wildcats (14-10), but they were edged out by the Wildcats in the rebounding department (31-23).

The George Washington Colonials will come into this game with a sense of confidence after picking up back-to-back A-10 wins, and they have a chance to extend their winning streak against the winless Fordham Rams. The Rams have been stout on the defensive side of the court this season as they are holding their opponents to an average of 61.3 PPG, but they have been unable to generate any scoring, especially in conference play as they are only averaging 53.6 PPG. The backcourt has stepped up for the Colonials as Armel Potter and Jamison Battle are both averaging 16 PPG against A-10 opponents, and I think they have enough scoring between the duo to overcome the Fordham defense. Fordham has yet to show me any reason why they can win a conference game which is why I will take this small number with the George Washington Colonials. Final Score Prediction, George Washington Colonials win and cover ATS 66-60.
