Last winter, Fordham played 20 of its 31 games away from the Rose Hill Gym (16 road games and four neutral site games), the most for any Atlantic 10 men’s squad. The next most for an Atlantic 10 team was Massachusetts, who played 16 regular season games away from home (12 on the road and four at a neutral site, three of those in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off Tournament). Conversely, the eleven home games for the Rams were the fewest for any Atlantic 10 squad in 2012-2013 and the fewest for a Fordham squad since the 2005-2006 team also played eleven games at home.

RAMS OR LAMBS?: The 2013-14 Fordham men’s basketball team will be a young group, with just three seniors (only one scholarship player), five ju- niors (three scholarship players), five sophomores and four freshmen.

STARTING LINEUPS: Due to injury, Fordham head coach Tom Pecora was forced to juggle his starting line from game-to-game last year, using 14 dif- ferent combinations. Conversely in 2011-2012, Pecora used just six differ- ent lineups in 29 games (including one for senior night).
