After a season ending 65-61 loss to George Mason Saturday afternoon up at Rose Hill the Fordham Rams finished last again the Atlantic 10 Conference. It was another dismal season for the Rams, 8-22 overall, 2-16 in the conference.
Regardless, the season will continue with a first round game in the A-10 Tournament, Wednesday afternoon at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. No. 6 Duquesne (11-7) will open play Thursday at 8:30 pm against the winner of the late first-round game between No. 11 George Washington (6-12) and No. 14 Fordham.
Erten Gazi scored a career-high 22 points and had six rebounds for Fordham, Antwon Portley added 11 points, and Joel Soriano had 10 rebounds and three blocks for Fordham in the season finale.

“We’re excited to head into Brooklyn on Wednesday to open the Atlantic 10 Championship,’ said coach Jeff Neubauer. “ It’s a new season and we have to get ready to play our best basketball of the year. We have been playing better lately and I hope that translates into a good performance at the Barclays Center.”
Dayton, the 2020 Atlantic 10 Regular Season Champion and No. 3 ranked team in the nation, will be the No. 1 seed for next week’s Atlantic 10 Men’s Basketball Championship. The 14-team event begins Wednesday with the championship final set for Sunday, March 15.
