Last Time Out
In a defensive battle at Rose Hill Gymnasium, the Fairleigh Dickinson men's basketball team was edged 53-50 by Fordham on Wednesday night. The Knights (1-2) had their chances down the stretch including a game-tying, three-point attempt by Jahlil Jenkins, which rimmed out as time expired.

Jenkins, who recorded career assist number 300 in the loss, finished with eight points, three rebounds and two assists. The two teams struggled from three-point range as the Knights made 1-of-14 and the Rams converted 5-of-20 from deep. Overall, the Knights shot 36 percent, while the Rams (2-0) made 35.7 percent of their shots. The Burgundy and Blue forced 13 turnovers and outrebounded the Rams 39-34 in the contest but were hampered by 20 miscues including a pair inside the final 90 seconds.

Senior forward Kaleb Bishop led the Knights with 15 points and seven rebounds, while junior forward Elyjah Williams added 11 points and six rebounds. Sophomore guard Brandon Powell corralled a career-high 11 rebounds to go along with three assists in the loss.

Fordham also logged two players in double figures with Onyi Eyisi scoring 13 points and Chuba Ohams adding 11.

Coach Herenda's Thoughts
"I am very proud of our defensive grit tonight – we held an Atlantic 10 team to 53 points in their building," said Greg Herenda after the game. "Our offense was a completely different story. We did not take care of the ball and we just could not make a three the entire night. Give Fordham credit, they are a tough team that guarded us very well for 40 minutes."

"We need to learn from this game and find a way to be more efficient," Herenda concluded. "Our effort was tremendous but our execution needs to improve and it will. Playing in Big East and Atlantic 10 venues back-to-back will help us down the road but tonight this really stings."
