Davidson vs Fordham Prediction 

Fordham comes into this matchup currently last in the A-10 standings, but they will be at home for this game. The Rams have lost three games in a row and they are only shooting 42.9% from the field this year. Fordham has also struggled defensively this season, as they are allowing 77 points per game. Davidson has lost two games in a row and they are also towards the bottom of the conference standings, but they are shooting 46.1% from the field. The Wildcats did beat Fordham by a score of 74-64 in their first meeting and I expect them to get another win here. Davidson is the better team and I think their defense will be the difference once again.
