What to Know

The George Washington Colonials won both of their matches against the Fordham Rams last season (71-47 and 53-49) and are aiming for the same result Sunday. The Colonials and Fordham will face off in an Atlantic 10 battle at noon ET at Charles E. Smith Center. Both teams looked pretty sloppy on the offensive side of the ball the last time they faced off, scoring just 102 points combined.

The contest between George Washington and the Saint Louis Billikens this past Wednesday was not particularly close, with George Washington falling 80-67. Guard James Bishop did his best for George Washington, finishing with 30 points (a whopping 45% of their total).

Meanwhile, Fordham came up short against the Dayton Flyers last week, falling 68-61. Guard Antrell Charlton had a pretty forgettable game, finishing with only five points on 2-for-13 shooting in his 34 minutes on the court.

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Colonials are expected to win a tight contest. They are currently two-for-two against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

George Washington is now 6-12 while the Rams sit at 9-9. A couple offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: George Washington is 31st worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 64.7 on average. Fordham has experienced some struggles of their own as they have only been able to knock down 40.90% percent of their shots, which is the 33rd lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
