What to Know

Fordham will be in front of their home fans on Tuesday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. They and the George Mason Patriots will face off in an Atlantic 10 battle at 7:00 p.m. ET at Rose Hill Gym. Fordham might want some stickum for this game since the team gave up 18 turnovers on Friday.

Fordham came into Friday's matchup having lost four straight, but that streak is now in the rearview. They walked away with a 79-67 victory over the Dukes. Winning is a bit easier when your shooting is a whole 17.4% better than the opposition, as Fordham's was.

Kyle Rose was the offensive standout of the match as he scored 23 points along with five rebounds and two steals. He didn't help Fordham's cause all that much against the Wildcats on Tuesday but the same can't be said for this game. Antrell Charlton was another key contributor, scoring 16 points along with eight assists.

Meanwhile, after a string of three wins, George Mason's good fortune finally ran out on Saturday. They were the victim of a painful 80-59 loss at the hands of the Ramblers. The loss unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for George Mason in their matchups with the Ramblers: they've now lost three in a row.

George Mason's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Darius Maddox, who scored 17 points along with five rebounds, and Amari Kelly who scored 19 points along with five rebounds. Maddox didn't help George Mason's cause all that much against the Flyers on Wednesday but the same can't be said for this game.

The Rams' win ended a six-game drought at home and bumped them up to 11-16. As for the Patriots, their defeat dropped their record down to 18-9.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Fordham have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 37 rebounds per game. However, it's not like George Mason struggles in that department as they've been averaging 36.4 rebounds per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.

Fordham came up short against the Patriots in their previous matchup back in March of 2023, falling 64-58. Will Fordham have more luck at home instead of on the road?
