In Round 2 of the A10 Tournament, George Washington leads @FordhamMBB 11-7 at the first media timeout. Japhet Medor has drawn a lot tighter coverage than he did against URI yesterday, and it's forced the Rams to take some tough shots early on. GW excelling in the paint early.

Rhody unable to get out of this 12-point deficit as the second half remains deadlocked. Aside from foul trouble, looks like Thomas is icing a minor leg injury. His return to the floor could be crucial for URI in this final stretch.
