WEST BLOOMFIELD (MI) – The UD Flyers traveled to Fairfax, VA on Wednesday evening and put up their worst effort of the season in an 85-67 drubbing at the hands of George Mason. Fortunately for “FTS” I didn’t feel like paying GMU to watch this debacle, so I just followed along on Live Stats, after reading on the UD Pride MB that Bucky sounded like death warmed over. I bailed when the lead got to 20 points.
Afterwards, Coach Anthony Grant summed up the situation succinctly:
“We didn’t play well enough. I didn’t coach well enough.”
I have three suggestions for everybody:
1) Follow the UD women’s team. They play Fordham on Sunday at the Arena. They are fun to watch and know how to close out close games, having won 14 in a row.
2) If you are going to the sold-out Fordham men’s game, cheer your collective butts off. There is NFW UD should ever lose to Fordham at home.
FORDHAM
Fordham University is an independent Jesuit university established in 1841 as St. John's College on old Rose Hill Manor in the village of Fordham, then part of Westchester County in the Bronx, NY. The name Fordham is derived from the Anglo-Saxon words "ford" and "ham," meaning a wading place or ford by a settlement. Rose Hill is the name given to the site in 1787 by Robert Watts, a wealthy New York merchant, in honor of his family's ancestral home of the same name in Scotland. The College was originally staffed by diocesan clergy. The name was officially changed to Fordham University in 1907. Fordham's 10 schools enroll 14,448 students. There are 7,652 undergraduates, of whom 3,842 live in University-managed housing either on-campus or in the local community. Fellow members of the A10 Conference. Nickname is the Rams. Athletic claim to fame is consistent mediocrity in nearly all sports and few A10 title winning programs.
