Bronx Sports Report: Battle for the Bronx Tonight!

The Bronx Sports Report is making a brief comeback today to announce that Manhattan College is taking on Fordham University tonight in the annual Battle of the Bronx. It’s the 105th meeting between the two northwest Bronx rivals. Last year, the Jaspers humiliated the Rams, 81-47, up in Riverdale. Tonight’s game is at Fordham. Both squads are off to slow starts. Fordham is 1-4 and Manhattan is 1-3. Here are previews of the game from Manhattan’s website and Fordham’s website. Game starts at 7:30 p.m. and is being broadcast on the YES cable channel.
