Fordham Rams Basketball Tickets

The first basketball game at Fordham University was held in 1902. Since then, they have worked hard to develop their program into the competitive NCAA Division I team that it is today. They have been members of the Atlantic 10 conference since 1994, going against such opponents as the UMASS Amherst Minutemen and the University of Rhode Island Rams. While they have never won the conference championship, they have given respectable performances under the leadership of Coach Jeff Neubauer. Because they are located in the Bronx, many of the early games in their season involve teams in the New York City area like the Manhattan College Jaspers and the College of Staten Island Dolphins. A number of Rams players have gone onto professional careers, primarily in European leagues. In their long history, there have been several Rams drafted into the NBA playing for teams such as the Boston Celtics, New York Knicks and Phoenix Suns.
