Fordham and Manhattan will face off in the 111th game of the "Battle of the Bronx."
Current players, former players and the school's coaches are excited for the rivalry to be renewed again.
"You always have to play a team that's in your city," says Tyler Wilson, a former Manhattan guard. "You always want to beat those teams -- want to feel like you're the best team in your area."
"It's gonna be fun, competitive -- you know we're gonna play hard, go at each other," says Fordham junior forward Chuba Ohams.
Fordham will look to win back-to-back games in the rivalry. 
Neither school has been able to win two games in a row against the other in six years.
