RMU Preview for MBB

 BG has a late breaking game against Robert Morris tomorrow.

They've had a tough time of it.  They've had games canceled and a pause in the program.  They have played only one game this year, and it was a non-D1 game.  They were supposed to play Cleveland State twice this weekend and that was cancelled, which opened the door to playing this game in Pittsburgh.

It is a tough year for RMU to be having this issues.  Until this year, they placed in the Northeast Conference, but this year they moved into the Horizon, where they were picked to be 4th, which isn't bad first year in your new league.  The Horizon favorite kicked our butt the other day.

Since 1982, they have played in the NCAA tournament 8 times.  Their biggest win in history was to shock Kentucky in the first round of the NIT a couple years ago.

Last year, they were 20-14, 2nd in their conference in the regular season and won the conference tournament before the whole world ended.

Their leading player is AJ Bramah, who was second-team all-Horizon in the pre-season.  He scored 13.4 PPG and 8.2 RPG, shooting 57%.  Those are in 29 minutes a game.

That's the only double-figure scorer they return.

They return Dante Treacy, who was the NEC Tournament MVP.  He scored about 8 a game on 46% shooting and almost 40% from 3FG.  Also, he had 4.6 assists per game.

There are 7 FR on the roster as well.

They are #207 in kenpom, but that's on no game experience.  BG should win this game but it's far from a sure thing, given what we have seen.  This is a good opportunity to get back onto the horse.
