Robert Morris is 1-10 in games this year where opponents have scored 70+ points, including 0-4 in the NEC.

This team can't outscore the opposition. It has to win on defense.

Next three games will determine the season for RMU. On the road at Mount St. Mary's, perhaps the most hostile environment the team will play in all season. On the road against St. Francis (Pa.), the preseason favorite and the best scoring team in the league. And at home against LIU, a team that always seems to get RMU to play looser on defense and turn the game into a high-scoring affair.

I know I sound like a broken record, but anything new on Thomas?

Nope. He was in uniform.

At this point, I'm assuming Toole just isn't playing him.

Kind of what I thought a couple weeks ago when I posted that he was in dog house and would need to do a lot to get out.

Shame for both him and team. Wonder if he has played few enough games to shirt? Maybe that is the plan and he will leave with 3 years left.

No, he's played ten games. That's too many to redshirt.

Ok thanks for info.

I heard this second or third hand, so I don't know how reliable it is, but It's Koby who does not think he is ready to play. Some guys take a long time to come back from a concussion, even if they are cleared. It takes a lot of drive and love of the game to be a D-1 athlete. We fans assume that just because a guy has the talent to land a scholarship that he has, or should have, that drive and love of the game to put up with the demands involved. This is purely suspicion on my part, but I have always wondered if Koby just does not have the desire for basketball to make the total commitment to play consistently at this level. That is not a criticism of Koby, we all have different interests that motivate us. Anyway, as an RMU fan, I do hope that he does come back healthy and ready to play next season. As far as pure athletic talent, he probably is the best in the Conference. He also seems to be a likable guy who, to my knowledge, gets along well with his teammates. It sure would be great to see Koby's amazing dunks next season to open up the new arena.

 

[ColonialInsider]

It's been a tough year for Koby. I think we all expected him to blow up and probably felt the same. Instead he struggled early, never got on track, got sick and now the concussion.

Even if he's been cleared medically, I wonder if he's just trying to feel normal again on the court.

Team could use him when he's ready, that's for sure

 

[RMU_Fan]

It's odd since he flies around and does trick dunks during warmups.

 

[LetsGoRomo2]

He is bouncing around during timeouts etc., Just a really strange situation.

 

[LetsGoRomo2]

Big week for the guys. Win these 2 and they are in first by themselves.

If you guys did not hear coaches show, it's on YouTube. Lots of interesting info on Dante Tracey.

Complete collapse tonight against Mount St. Mary's.

Second half has been utterly disgusting. Forgot how to defend, forgot how to rebound, stayed still on offense, and turned the ball over almost every other possession.

Toole needs to shake some things up. Guys may be giving physical effort, but the mental breakdowns are killing this team.

 

[RMU_Fan]

RMU had a problem even inbounding the ball. Even though they were in foul trouble, with the difficulty MSM has with the press I would have liked to see them try it when they fell behind and could not get started again.

 

[ColonialInsider]

Guess who's back...

Good to have him back. Is that the first change to the starting lineup this year? Koby leading in points (8) and rebounds (5) at the half. Unfortunately SFU closed the half on a 16-5 run after RMU took a one point lead.

Yeah, this was the first change to the starting lineup all season.

 

[RMU_Fan]

Koby 13 & 13 in 21 minutes. I'd like to see replays of Koby fouling out, the offensive foul on Petteway with 5 seconds left, and the two guys on Matty for the last second shot. Again way less free throws (17 less) than the opposition.

 

[ColonialInsider]

Ticky tack crap call on Koby and an embarrassing charge call on Malik. SFU player didn't come close to having his feet set. Absolutely absurd that was called.

Yep. Refs/NEC seem to be anti RMU on key calls! Conspiracy? IDk but maybe they didn’t like their favorite to win it all not being on top after the midway point of the season.

RMU should have won this game.

 

[LetsGoRomo2]

Guys looking good of late. Couple more big games. Go bobby Mo!

They had good second halfs in their games this week. Having Koby back in the rotation helps.

 

[GoRMU]

Kolby definitely helps. With his quickness and overall athletic ability, he is able to make plays that no one else on the team, or conference, can make. He has come back better, as a team player. Of course, for us fans, he is just fun to watch. Welcome back, Kolby. Go Colonials!

 

[RMU_Fan]

Ugly first half and a different team after the break. A win at home on Wednesday in the first round of the NEC playoffs clinches a winning record. Make a run Colonials!
