Looking to go 2-0 in conference (which is still surprising to me) and get their first road win of the season, the men travel to the Bronx today to face the disappointing Rams of Fordham. Fordham looked to be on the upswing the last few years, but has struggled so far to a 6-8 record, including 0-2 in conference. Karl Hobbs is 7-0 against the Rams, and hopefully this will make it 8-0.Fordham is led by senior forward Bryant Dunston at 15.6 points and a conference-leading 8.7 rebounds per game. Guards Marcus Stout and Brenton Butler add 14.2 and 11.3 points respectively. Both Dunston and Stout are four-year starters (and four year double-digit scorers), and this experience worries me against GW's inexperienced team. Then again, the Rams are near the bottom of the A-10 and GW is averaging 7 more rebounds per game.
It should be an interesting game, and one I think GW can pull out, assuming they break the road curse. Has GW turned the corner after the record-seeing beatdown of Saint Louis?
