On a rainy Saturday afternoon we all drove up to Davidson at the request of our neighbors to see Davidson play Fordham in the basketball. I had been too a few games with Aaron previously (when games were late and midweek and his kids couldn't go), but it had been 5 years since the last time I'd been. Thanks Covid! So it was now a completely different team taking the field.
The game didn't have a lot of excitement to it. Things stayed tight in the first half, until 5 minutes to go, when turnovers and missed rebounds saw Davidson go into the break 7 points down, 33-26. That margin stayed the same through most of the second half, when Davidson tried to stage a comeback with 8 1/2 minutes left. While they got within 2 points of Fordham, they could never get in front and ultimately Fordham held onto their lead for 25 minutes to run out 2 point winners 73-71. Crowd left disappointed, especially my neighbor, but the kids had a good time, and I'm sure the mm's were happy to be sitting away from us during the game.
Fordham Rams 73 (K. Moore 22, D. Quinsenberry 21, A. Charlton 9) defeated Davidson Wildcats 71 (F. Loyer 26, D. Watson 10, S. Mennenga 9)
Crowd: 4,091
