Notable: The Spiders look to continue momentum against the last-place team in the Atlantic 10 Conference. Fordham (1-11, 3-21) is the league's lowest-scoring team (61.8 ppg) and has allowed the most points (76.8 ppg). . . . Richmond (6-6, 14-13) has won three of its past four after a four-game losing streak. . . . Dereck Whittenburg, a former N.C. State guard, is in his sixth season as Fordham's coach (37-55 A-10, 68-104). "We've got a bunch of young guys trying to learn how to win in a competitive league," he said. . . . The Spiders will be playing in Division I's oldest facility. Rose Hill Gym opened in 1925. . . . Richmond beat Fordham last year, ending a five-game losing streak to the Rams.
