Atlantic 10 Teams Richmond and Fordham Face Challenges on the Court

Two Atlantic 10 teams are facing challenges this season that have affected their success on the court. Fordham's main issue lies in their inability to prevent opponents from scoring, despite their own ability to put points up on the board. Conversely, Richmond has been struggling offensively this season, especially with their leading scorer, Hunt, sidelined. The Rams have struggled on the road with a record of 2-6, while Richmond has not fared much better at home with a record of 5-7. Richmond has faced a series of losses, including four out of their last five home games. Due to Richmond's offensive struggles, particularly at home, it may be difficult to support them in this matchup. Therefore, considering their challenges with scoring, Fordham may have an advantage in this game.
