Robert Morris statistics and roster

Robert Morris will be 6-2 by the time they get to the Convo. They are a very good team, and will be all that we want to see in the Convo right now.

D.D.

Rob Mo's schedule has been a joke. We will be favored in this game.

Other than getting blown out by a decent West Virginia team they have played:

Chatham (?)
StoneHill (?)
LindenWoods (?)
New Orleans (who dropped basketball and brought it back)
Canisius
etc etc

There should be no fear of this team. If we lose this game, there is real trouble.

Chatham-StoneHill-LindenWoods would be a great name for a bed and breakfast but doesn't boost your strength of schedule ratings much.

Ohio football is defending Peden, going undefeated the last two years. It's time for Ohio basketball to do the same in the Convo. Let's make it 2-0 at home this season with a win v. RMU.

Official spread is Ohio by 10.5 with total points at 144.5


78-68 more or less. YMMV

We must lead the nation in fouls committed off the ball during an opponents’ make…
And also in getting fouled on 3-pointers lol

Breaking News: AJ Clayton shot faked a three pointer and it led to a made Searls three.

Boals will never do it. But would love to see him experiment with a starting lineup that included Searls and AJ.

You hope that’s a young cat trying too hard to impress rather than being clearly unready.

Oh baby I love it. That's what it looks like to shoot threes as a secondary piece of your attack with more selection. I hope it was a defined pivot and not just how the game broke. Again - Clayton, Hadaway & Searls are great paint players in the MAC. Clayton didn't quite have his normal touch yet still the trio was 12 for 19 from 2 with 17 boards.

Despite Vic's great finishing prowess, his willingness to attack the rim may be related to his deficiencies when choosing to go elsewhere with the ball. Lots of turnovers today just not a natural passer.

To the point on Evans, Searls arrival and subsequent success has relegated him to a freshman year of watching and learning. Absent an injury, I just don't foresee him in the rotation this year so I'm putting my expectations and evaluations of him on the shelf for the year.

Elliott & Sheldon are as good as you can get as far as bench guards. Losing Reef sucks (any word on his status?) but it is sure made easier with this depth we have.

Great to finally have an easy win. Took the seat upgrade to the student section today. That was my son who was 3 for 3 on the easiest trivia ever in the 1st half promotion.
