They’re the only Atlantic 10 team to play fewer games than the UMass men’s basketball team so far. UMass (4-3, 3-1 A-10) is coming off a dramatic, overtime win over rival Rhode Island. The Minutemen are riding their first winning streak of the season.

Though Fordham has lost three games by double digits this season, their lone win came in an upset 55-54 victory against Atlantic 10 giant Dayton, who was pegged to finish third in the conference in preseason polls.
In addition to his 14 points, Lofton had six assists. "Kyle is a really good player, a tremendous competitor," Schmidt said. "He's our leader.
