Davidson was outscored 39-30 the rest of the way however, and had to scramble for an eventual 65-63 victory on their home court. Leading the team in scoring was Roberts Blums with 18 points and 13 rebounds while Josh Scovens had 11 points with four assists.

Davidson vs Fordham Prediction

I’ll take a stab on Fordham but it’s a coin flip. The Rams didn’t look all that great in a home win over a struggling Loyola team this week. Fordham shot just 39.2 percent from the field in that one with 59.3 percent (16-of-27) at the line and 13 turnovers. The 38-29 rebounding edge and 40.4 percent shooting allowed on defense saved the win. Fordham has won three straight games, but each of them has come by four points or fewer.

These teams last saw each other on January 21 in a 68-63 road loss for Fordham. In that one the Rams shot very well (54 percent) and stayed competitive on the boards alongside a 38-36 edge on points in the paint. Fordham only got to the line seven times though (making four) and had a whopping 17 turnovers in a sloppy outing. Provided the Rams can clean up their act in the home rematch I think they’ve got a nice shot here.
