Your reporting is a nightmare. It is more than obvious you have never followed Fordham mens basketball. If you had you would get your facts straight. Pecora is not a good coach he jerks his players in and out so that there is never a rhythm. Because of the coach there is no cohesion, it’s not because they don’t have the talent. Even if you don’t follow a team, if you are going to comment on how they play, maybe you should actually look at the numbers. You are very bad!!!!!
Wow–is Donny Marshall an idiot. He actually thinks Galloway’s push-off was not a foul. You need better analysts than this, NBC!
