Fordham-UMass Game Sets Records with Unbelievable Moments in Triple Overtime

Bronx: Fans at Fordham witnessed a game for the ages on Wednesday. It was the first triple-overtime game in the history of Rose Hill Gym, and boy, did it deliver! The Rams faced off against UMass, and the final score was a wild 120-118.

UMass senior Rahsool Diggins stole the show with a jaw-dropping 46 points, breaking records left and right. He not only set a new program record but also surpassed NBA legend Julius Erving for the most points scored at Fordham by an opponent.

The game was a rollercoaster, with Fordham hitting three free throws to tie it up and send it into overtime. Can you believe that? The excitement was palpable!

Fordham’s 118 points marked a new home record for the program, while UMass set a record for opponents. Together, they combined for a staggering 238 points, the most ever in the gym’s history.

Diggins’ performance was no surprise to UMass coach Frank Martin, who praised his star player. The game was a far cry from the gym’s opening match back in 1925, where Fordham won 46-16.

As the game unfolded, it was clear that this was a night to remember. Nine players fouled out, and the teams combined for a whopping 79 fouls, the most in a Division I game since 2017.

With all the twists and turns, including a last-second three-pointer from UMass to tie it up, fans were on the edge of their seats. The Minutemen managed to score the winning basket with just 10 seconds left in the third overtime.

What a night! Mark your calendars for January 15, 2125, to see how the next century of Rose Hill unfolds!
