Preview: Struggling Loyola Chicago Visits Fordham in Atlantic 10 Clash NEW YORK (Interstat) ā The Fordham Rams will look to continue their push toward a winning season when they host the struggling Loyola Chicago Ramblers in an Atlantic 10 Conference menās basketball game Wednesday afternoon at Rose Hill Gym. The Rams (14-12 overall) enter with momentum from a 70-66 overtime road victory at Rhode Island last Saturday. In contrast, the Ramblers (6-20) are mired in a difficult season, coming off an 86-59 home loss to Saint Louis on Feb. 13. Fordham has been led by the consistent play of guard Christian Henry. Over his last seven games, Henry is averaging 12.1 points and 4.7 assists, including a 16-point, 6-rebound, 4-assist performance in the win over Rhode Island. His versatility has been key for a Rams team that has won four of its last seven contests. Loyola Chicago will rely on guard Justin Moore, who scored a team-high 12 points in the loss to Saint Louis. Mooreās production has fluctuated, with scoring outputs of 12, 6, 12, 6 and 4 points in his last five games. Finding consistent offense beyond Moore has been a season-long challenge for the Ramblers, who have lost 12 of their last 14 games. The teamsā recent trajectories highlight the contrast. Fordhamās last five games include three wins, with two losses by a combined six points. Loyola Chicago has lost four of five in that same stretch, with the lone win a 71-61 victory over La Salle on Feb. 3. The Ramblers have allowed 84 or more points in three of those five games. Historically, Fordham holds a 9-5 series advantage, though this is just the third meeting since Loyola Chicago joined the Atlantic 10. The Rams won last seasonās matchup, 78-64, in Chicago. For Fordham, this game represents a critical opportunity to solidify its standing before a tough closing stretch that includes road games at VCU and La Salle. For Loyola Chicago, it is a chance to find a rare road win and disrupt the rhythm of a conference rival. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST on Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2026.
