There was one former men's basketball player who was happy at today's Fordham-Robert Morris game. Unfortunately for current Ram fans, that former player turned out to be the head coach of Robert Morris University. Mike Rice, a 1991 Fordham graduate who was a four-year member of the men's basketball squad, brought his Colonials into the Rose Hill Gym and left with a 72-66 win.
