RMU fan/student here. This is going to be an awesome game. RMU has been very inconsistent this season. They played great on the road @ Xavier despite losing, but played awful @ Rider, and were flat against Savannah St.
RMU will be without two key players, both bigs, and arguably two of their best rebounders. Lijah Thompson tore his ACL, and Keith Armstrong is recovering from a knee injury. Neither has played in a game this season, so they will at least this won’t be new to the team. RMU has played a lot better since getting forward Russell Johnson back, he missed the first 3 games. I can’t wait to watch the Cooper/Jones match up. It has been excellent the past few years, and will be great once again.
The team plays great at home, and since I have gone to school here, they haven’t lost a game when the place is packed. I would guess they are around 10 and 0 when it’s a near sellout. The student body actually has a pep rally tonight, and it’s expected to the biggest crowd of the season tomorrow, so it will be an amazing atmosphere. RMU has a very small gym, and it gets crazy loud. I hope a lot of Ohio fans can make it, it will simply make it a better atmosphere.
