(NCAAB) Fordham vs. UMass, 02/03/2021 6:00 PM, Score: 54 - 60
Point Spread: -13.50 | -110.00 UMass (Home)
Result: Loss
UMass is the 113th best team in the country, according to KenPom, and Fordham is 268th. Fordham has lost to George Washington (201st) by 24 points, La Salle (171st) by 27 points, and Duquesne (100th) by 24 points this season. UMass has played La Salle twice, winning by 19 and 16 points in each of those games. These teams play completely different styles, with UMass scoring the second-most points per game than any team in the Atlantic-10 and Fordham scoring the least. Considering that UMass is averaging 29 more points per game on the season than Fordham, I find it hard seeing the Rams keeping up in this game. When these teams met on January 17, UMass came away with a 19 point road victory. Now at home, I don't see any reason while UMass should not win on Wednesday by at least 19 points again. The Minutemen are explosive offensively, and should roll in this one on Wednesday evening.
