Fordham at Richmond

The Richmond Spiders gathered a lot of notability with a nice deep run into the NCAA Tournament a year ago, but this team is not the same with some key defections, struggling to an 11-9 mark on the season and are likely not going to be an NCAA Tourney team this season. The Spiders lived and died by defense a year ago, but have allowed 75+ in six games on the seasson including each of their last two Fordham has long been the doormat in the Atlantic-10, but their eight wins on the season is a sign that the culture is changing and this team is becoming competitive once again. They have wins vs. Harvard and Georgia Tech, something unthinkable over the past few seasons. The gap here has closed and this is purely a "reputation" line. Play on Fordham as my CBB Game of the Month.
