Opening Night 2008
Posted by Fordham SportsNet on November 14, 2008
The 2008-2009 Fordham basketball season gets underway tonight with a doubleheader at the Rose Hill Gym. At 6 p.m. the women tip off against Princeton to be followed at 8 p.m. by the men taking on local rival Columbia.
The women attempt to rebound from a tough season last year which saw them finish at 0-29. While suffering through the winless season, the Rams drew praise from the media for the heart, work ethic, and perspective they brought to the court. That being said, no team deserves a win more than this group . The third link below will take you to The Journal News’ season preview. Coverage of tonight’s women’s game can be heard live on WFUV.org.
Meanwhile, the men will open their season against Columbia, a team they beat in last year’s season opener. The Rams finished the 2007-2008 campaign with a 12-17 record, and usher in the new year with new faces and a new style of play. Previews of the upcoming season from the Daily News and The Journal News provide interesting perspectives on what to expect from this year’s team. The links are below. As always, all men’s basketball games can be heard on 90.7FM WFUV Radio and WFUV.org. Tonight’s coverage begins at 7:55.
Fordham SportsNet will be at Rose Hill tonight covering both games and providing you with the most comprehensive coverage of Fordham Basketball.
