RICHMOND — Keith Urgo was thinking about what traffic might be like on I-95 south on a bright Sunday morning in February.
“You add everyone in my family and some of my friends coming down, it might slow down like on a weekday,” he said with a smile.
Urgo was kidding. And not kidding. He was sitting in the visiting coaches’ meeting room underneath the stands at Richmond’s Robins Center an hour before a noon tip-off between his Fordham men’s basketball team and Richmond.
Urgo is the eighth of Don and Jill Urgo’s 10 children — all of them jocks in one form or another. He grew up in Potomac and played basketball and lacrosse at Gonzaga in downtown Washington. So, when he talked about family and friends packing the almost-always packed I-95, he had reason for concern.
Urgo, in his first season as Fordham’s coach, has been part of a remarkable renaissance at a school that’s located not far from the Bronx Zoo. Even after Sunday’s 68-58 loss at Richmond, the Rams are 6-4 in the jumbled Atlantic-10 and 18-5 overall. They are a game out of second place (if also a game out of sixth). For a team that has had two winning seasons in A-10 play since joining the league in 1995, that’s a big deal.
