They're small and inexperienced.  One senior, one junior and two redshirt sophs; their "big" is a 6-8 frosh, and they have a 6-7 soph, a 6-6 redshirt soph and two 6-5s (jr. and fr.).  Doesn't necessarily translate into quickness: they have 88 steals in 12 games; Cats have 111 in 13.  They're shooting 39% from the floor (OU is 41%), 30% from 3pt (OU 32%) and 65% from the line (OU 70%), and have scored less than 60 pts in half their games -- may be a bit like Fiami.  And they've only shot 198 FTs to their opponents' 325.  Sounds like a very winnable game, but they've had close losses at Kent (3pts) and Cleveland St (5 pts), so they can't be taken lightly.

It's all about commitment to playing defense.

Bobby Morris is rated higher than Ohio in both the RPIs and Sagarins.  Going by the Sagarins, our home court advantage will make us about a 2 pt. favorite in this game. 

We owe them big time for getting robbed up there last year. 

Most of the RMU roster majors in "Hospitality and Tourism Management".

There's gonna be a lot of whistles.  RMU is 338th nationally in FPG.  Ohio?  341.

I think this will be a tough game. Hopefully with some of the students back in town we can have some home court advantage.

Keely is making bad decisions again. Why take on the double team and get the ball stripped?

we blew a big 13 point lead, but at the same time Robert morris would not miss a 3 even with someone in their face. Hopefully that cools down.

We came out with great intensity and energy...awesome ball movement resulting in layups against a much smaller team. Then we got content to chucking 3s. Good thing we're making some, but lets dump it inside more in the second half.

Not much of a student turnout or any turnout for that matter.  What day of the week is it again and during what season?

It's still move-in day.  Most students were with their parents still getting checked in and saying their good-byes while others were probably still on their way at 2.

As a former RD, I'm very familiar with move-in day.  My post was in reference to an earlier thread started by Jeff McKinney concerning our five Sunday home games.
