Fordham men’s basketball came out of nowhere. Its new coach can relate.
The Washington Post 02-06-2023
[Keith] Urgo, in his first season as Fordham’s head coach, has been part of a remarkable renaissance at a school that’s located not far from the Bronx Zoo. Even after Sunday’s 68-58 loss at Richmond, the Rams are 6-4 in the jumbled Atlantic-10 and 18-5 overall. They are a game out of second place (if also a game out of sixth). For a team that has had two winning seasons in A-10 play since joining the league in 1995, that’s a big deal.
