Who would’ve thought that in 2023, Fordham Basketball would have to turn away hundreds of students at the door for a regular season game vs 8-win Rhode Island.
We’ve come a long way in a short time.
SLU coach postgame: “The student section was crazy. We pulled up and it was like a concert outside. There was a DJ and strobe lights. It was pretty wild. It was a good college environment."
Thank you

Doesn’t feel great at the moment, but hope you guys know that you’ve completely changed the look of a notoriously bad program, and given thousands of people excitement and joy. A season that will never be forgotten.

The last time
@FordhamMBB
won 20+ games was 1990-91.
One of the best wins was vs PJ Carlesimo and Seton Hall, with the legendary Mike Breen screaming “BANG” after Jean Prioleau’s 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Pandemonium at Rose Hill.
Thomas P. Cullen III, FCRH ’92, was a member of the FDNY for Squad 41 in the Bronx. He met his wife Susan at Fordham in 1992, and their son was age two in 2001. Tom entered the South Tower on September 11th, 2001 with immeasurable courage. He will forever be a hero. Never Forget.
Sources: Fordham is finalizing a contract extension for Keith Urgo through the 2027-28 season.
Urgo was the Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year and led the Rams to 25 wins.
Want to thank 2 outstanding leaders in Kyle Rose and Antrell Charlton for their dedication to this program.
They saw a lot of ups and downs and stuck with it through it all. Can certainly say they changed the program for the better.
Shoutout to the alumni today, thank you guys for helping us build a true home-court feel.
Need the same energy going forward in future seasons! Go Rams!
UCF finished 18-14, with an 8-10 record in the AAC, with no ranked wins and a loss to Tulane. They got a 5 seed in the NIT.
Fordham finished 25-8, with a 13-7 record in the A10, with no ranked wins and a win at Tulane. They didn’t make the NIT.
Coach Urgo today:
“All Fordham fans within 500 miles, it’s a weekend so you can hop on a flight, gotta make tomorrow an even better environment than yesterday”
Student section getting a lot of compliments lately, and rightfully so.
But all of this starts with
@KeithUrgo
and the players giving us a chance to be excited. All the credit belongs there.
FYI: Spring Break starts tomorrow afternoon for Fordham students. We may not be able to have 2.1k students at the game again.
What does that mean? We need the alumni and fans to show out and be LOUDER than ever vs Dayton at 3:30 on Saturday. GO RAMS
Live look at the Class of 2024 Facebook Group, probably:
Hi! My name is Emily and I’m from Bergen County, NJ (Central Jersey is 🤮) I love going out but am always down for a chill night in. I love watching The Office, listening to Frank Ocean, and can’t wait to explore the city!
Calling all alumni:
Need you guys there on Saturday. We haven’t been in the semifinals in 17 years. Now is the time to show out and give the team the best atmosphere they can possibly get.
Need another home-court advantage like we all created last night!
