UMass, Fordham Break Records in Triple Overtime

In a historic triple-overtime game at Fordham's Rose Hill Gym, UMass triumphed over the Rams with a score of 120-118, marking the first triple-overtime contest ever held at the venue. UMass senior Rahsool Diggins emerged as the standout performer, scoring a program-record 46 points, surpassing NBA legend Julius Erving’s previous record for points scored by an opponent at Fordham. The game featured a staggering total of 238 points, the most ever recorded in the gym's history, and included an astounding 122 free throw attempts and 79 personal fouls, both records for Division I games. Fordham’s 118 points set a new home record for the program, while UMass matched its own record for points scored in a game. The contest was a rollercoaster, highlighted by a dramatic three-pointer from Fordham that sent the game into overtime and a last-second layup from UMass that clinched the win. Coach Frank Martin praised Diggins' performance, which will be remembered as a defining moment as the gym celebrates its 100th anniversary.
