HACKENSACK, N.J. – FDU officially announced that the men's basketball contest on November 18 against NJIT will be the 'Rich Conrad Game'.

A member of the FDU men's basketball team from 1972-75, Richard Conrad's name can be found throughout the Knights' record book. At the end of his three-year career, he ranked first all-time with 1,174 points. At the time of his induction, he still ranked 11th in scoring and eighth with 420 career field goals. During his career Conrad earned three First Team All-New Jersey Team selections and as a senior was named FDU's Most Outstanding Male Athlete. He was inducted into the FDU Hall of Fame in 2022.

The festivities will begin at 7 p.m. with a special presentation to Conrad's wife, Geralyn, and his teammates from his time at FDU. The game will begin promptly following the celebration.

The FDU men's basketball intrasquad preseason scrimmage previously served as the 'Rich Conrad Burgundy & Blue Game' but moving forward Conrad's legacy will be honored at the first Division I home game for FDU every season.

The men's team will wear commemorative special throwback FDU shooting shirts donning Conrad's retired #41 number. The first 300 fans will receive special Rich Conrad Game posters.
