Just bought tics for the Robert Morris game. $23 for 2 "Chairback Seats" (incl process fee). Prolly good seats, don't see how there could be any bad ones in arena that only seats 3,500. Be nice if we could get 2/3's the Bobcats there as we had at the last game at Pitt - we could out number the Colonials fans. Pittsburgh a close and fun weekend destination. Salivating for a Primanti Bros sandwich already.................

You can buy tickets through the Pittsburgh Alumni Chapter for just $4 each. They are also planning a pre-game party at the Ground Round across the street from the arena.

I went to the Bobby Mo game during the 2009-10 season. The arena is really small. It has a high-school gym feel to it. No seating behind either basket, just retractable bleachers on the sides of the court. They do have a hanging scoreboard though, but it doesn't have video.

Just watched their game today go final.
Xavier 61
Robert Morris 59

Looking like this could be another war.  Just hope that we don't get jipped like we did the last time we were there.

They have beaten us for 3 straight years, and 2 of those games (both in the Convo) we were behind for 99% of the contest, with no great chance of winning.

RMU is clearly a good team, and they also seem to pose a match-up problem for us. I remember Coach Groce praised their toughness as one of the reasons they have beaten us. We better bring the "A" game to pull this one out on the road.

Please, please, PLEASE do not lose 4 in a row to these guys!!

Last year we picked their pockets bigtime but they destroyed us on the boards.

What should we improve?

no great chance of winning? the last 3 games were won by 3 points or less.

- last year we lost by 3, the tying shot at the buzzer rimmed off.
- two years ago we lost by 3 in OT. Missed the winning basket with 6 seconds left in the 2nd half. Then in OT, with 3 seconds left missed the tying free throw.
- three years ago we lost by 2. down 2 with 6 seconds left and we turned it over.

I say its about time we catch a break.

I was at the Xavier game and watched RM from the floor. They look very good and can really shoot the rock.  They look to be very deep, as they were subbing 5 for f early in the game. It should really be a dog fight!!
