Strong Showing From Malik Miller (Troy, N.Y./Catholic Central ):  The 6-9 freshman center came off the bench to play 19 minutes.  He registered nine points and five rebounds while showing good athleticism around the basket.

Last Time Out:  The Fairleigh Dickinson men's basketball team fell to Fordham, 85-62, on Saturday afternoon at the historic Rose Hill Gym.  The Knights (1-3) were led by 15 points from sophomore Earl Potts Jr. (Severn, Md./Archbishop Spalding ) while the Rams (2-1) used a balanced offensive attack that featured five players with double-digit points.
 
The Knights started slowly, but began to click offensively following the second media timeout of the first half.  The Rams hit a free throw coming out of the timeout, but FDU followed with seven straight points and eventually cut the Fordham lead to a single-point at 17-16.
 
The teams remained close over the ensuing minutes, but Fordham scored the final seven points of the first half.  The Rams held FDU scoreless over a three-minute and 27-second stretch to close the period.
 
Coach G on the Fordham Game:  "The way we turned the basketball over today was very uncharacteristic of our team.  We just couldn't pass or dribble the ball and it put a great deal of pressure on our defense all game long.  What I did like was how our second group came off the bench and contributed-especially Malik Miller (Troy, N.Y./Catholic Central ).  He earned some minutes tonight.  We just have to keep teaching, learning and working and we will be fine. It's just a shame that if we played better offense tonight we could have won this game." – Greg Herenda following the Fordham Game
