George Washington vs Fordham Basketball Picks & Predictions

Published on

George Washington is on the road playing Fordham at the Rose Hill Gym stadium on Saturday, 1/28/2023 @ 2:00pm EST. Fordham -3 was the opening favorite and current line is Fordham -3.5.

Rose Hill Gymnasium will host the George Washington Colonials and Fordham Rams on Saturday. There will be a 2:00 p.m. tip-off in Bronx, NY, ET. George Washington beat St. Joe's in overtime on Wednesday, 11-9 SU and 10-9 ATS. Against Atlantic-10 opponents, the Colonials are 4-1 in their last five games. Saint Bonaventure was defeated on Wednesday by Fordham, 16-4 over under and 12-8 against the spread. Over the past five games, the Rams have won 4-1 and are 4-3 in conference play.

Is it possible for GW to track down VCU?

With three straight wins, the Colonials are just 1.5 games behind Atlantic-10 leader VCU. In the final 11 games of the regular season, can they make a push to win the A-10 title? After shooting 27-for-64 from the field, including 11-for-26 (42.3%) from the field, George Washington defeated St. Joe's in overtime. 43 points were scored by the Colonials on 27 field goals and 15 assists were recorded by the Hawks. George Washington senior guard Brendan Adams led the team in scoring with 32 points on 11-of-22 shooting, including 7-for-12 from three-point range. The Colonials' senior guard James Bishop IV averages 22.0 points per game, sixth most in the NCAA. Adams (17.5ppg and 4.7rpg), guard Maximus Edwards (10.8ppg and 6.0rpg), and forward Ricky Lindo Jr. (9.6ppg and 7.0rpg) are other players to watch.

It is Fordham's goal to improve its standing in the A-10

With 16 wins in its first 20 games, Fordham is just 2.5 games out of first place in the A-10. It's imperative that Fordham wins Saturday's game against George Washington, as the Colonials are a game ahead of the Rams in the conference standings. Fordham scored 51 points in the second half of its last game to beat St. Bonaventure by 11 points. After trailing 30-28 at halftime, the Rams stormed out of the locker room. In terms of field goal percentage, Fordham shot 23 for 53 (43.4%), 8 for 24 from three (33.3%), and 25 for 36 (69.4%) from the foul line. Fordham senior forward Khalid Moore led the team with 19 points on 6-of-7 shooting. With an average of 16.5 points per game on 39.0 percent shooting, senior guard Darius Quisenberry leads the Rams in scoring. Antrell Charlton (7.9 PPG, 4.0 RPG, and 4.0 APG) and Moore (14.3 PPG and 6.5 RPG) are other players to watch.

This A-10 matchup from NYC will be covered by the Colonials and won by the Rams straight up. It will be a tough game for Fordham on Saturday despite having five more straight-up victories than George Washington. The George Washington Colonials take better care of the basketball than Fordham (top 50 in FG%). It was an aberration for a team ranked 227th in offensive efficiency to score 51 in the second half of their last game. In field goal percentage and three-point percentage, they rank 294th and 250th, respectively. In home games against teams over .500, Fordham has just a 6-4 ATS record.
