The lowdown
2000-01 record: 12-12; 4-12 in A-10 (9th)
Final Ranking: NR
Postseason: None.
Three Questions for 2001-02
1. Where does the offense come from now that scoring guards Bevon Robin and Jason Harris are gone?
2. Are the Rams willing to become more dedicated at the defensive end?
3. Whether or not Bob Hill will shift away from a pro-set offense and install more of a college set.
Three Key Facts
1. Talk about up and down: The Rams bolted to an 11-6 start that included a six-game winning streak and triumphs over St. John's, Iona and George Mason. That great start was erased by a late-season slide that featured just one win in the final 12 games.
2. Fordam's last NCAA appearance was in 1992 -- an 85-58 loss to Massachusetts.
3. Teremun Johnson, who returns as the Rams' leading scorer (9.9 ppg), was a high school all-state wide receiver in Michigan.
Andy Katz's Scenarios
Best case: The frontcourt is good enough to finish third in the East.
Worst case: Inexperienced guards could mean finishing lower than fourth and out of postseason.
