This one wasn’t close.
After battling hard only to come up short in its first four Atlantic 10 contests, Fordham simply didn’t have it Wednesday night, as the Rams fell behind early and often against Saint Louis, dropping to 2-15 on the year with a 75-48 loss to the Billikens.
Saint Louis has the second ranked defense in the league, though their issue has been scoring. Against the Rams, that wasn’t a problem. They jumped ahead early with an 11-2 lead, had a 17-6 lead with 12:39 remaining in the first half, increased the lead to 34-18 thanks to a 10-0 run with 3:53 left, and took a 42-24 lead into halftime.
As if that wasn’t enough, the Billikens outscored Fordham 12-1 to start the second half to take a 54-25 lead. From there, Saint Louis cruised to its 12th win of the year.
Lance Brown led the Rams with 15 points and seven rebounds, while Chris Gaston finished with ten points and eight rebounds.
