Fordham's Home Court Advantage Could Lead to Victory Over UMass in Defensive Struggle

Both UMass and Fordham have struggled defensively, but Fordham's advantage on their home court could be the deciding factor in this matchup. In their recent head-to-head meetings, Fordham has covered the spread more often than UMass, particularly when playing at home. Despite both teams having similar offensive and defensive statistics, Fordham has been more effective in shooting, with a higher overall shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage compared to UMass. The Minutemen have shot just 41.7% overall and 26.5% from beyond the arc, while the Rams have shot 42.8% overall and 33.5% from three-point range. This difference in shooting efficiency could give Fordham the edge in this game.
