Fordham Rams' Defensive Struggles Offset by Offensive Strength as they Prepare to Face Davidson

The Fordham Rams have been struggling defensively, allowing an average of 74.4 points per game. However, they have shown strength offensively, scoring an average of 76.4 points per game. One of their key assets is Abdou Tsimbila, a strong rim protector who averages 2.7 blocked shots per game and leads the team with 7.7 rebounds per contest. In contrast, Davidson has been struggling to cover the spread in recent games, failing to do so in four out of their last five games. On the other hand, Fordham has been successful in covering the spread in seven out of their last eight games played in January and in five out of their last seven games played on Wednesdays. Additionally, Davidson has failed to cover the number in their last three games and has a 0-3 straight-up record over that period. Conversely, Fordham has a 3-1 against the spread record in their last four games and a 3-1 straight-up record during that span. Overall, based on recent performances and statistics, Fordham appears to be in a more favorable position going into this matchup.
