Fordham is hoping to emulate Duquesne's recent success.
Duquesne has shown signs of life during coach Ron Everhart's four-plus seasons with the team, which played Temple for the A-10 championship two years ago and is riding an eight-game winning streak.
Fordham continues to sputter, though the Rams in coach Tom Pecora's first year already have surpassed last season's woeful win total of two.
"On any given day," Everhart said, "they're a team that can wear you out."
