Close and Late - A common theme in the eight years that head coach Andrew Toole has been at the helm at Robert Morris has been playing close games late. During Toole’s tenure, the Colonials have posted a record of 54-32 (.628) in games decided by five points or less, including a mark of 8-6 (.571) in games decided by a single point. Did You Know? In eight seasons under head coach Andrew Toole, Robert Morris has compiled a record of 89-35 (.718) when scoring at least 70 points in a game. Included in that record is a mark of 34-5 (.872) when eclipsing the 80-point plateau. Defense Wins Championships - The numbers bear out that following in the footsteps of defending is victories. Despite a 65-58 loss to Central Connecticut (2/17/18), the Colonials own a mark of 166-48 (.776) since the beginning of the 2007-08 campaign when holding their opponent to under 70 points. Under Andrew Toole, RMU owns a mark of 113-40 (.739) when turning the trick. Overall the last 11 years, Robert Morris has held its opponent to under 70 points 57.1 percent (214-of-375) of the time. Start Me Up - Andrew Toole, who is in his eighth year at the helm of the Colonials in 2017-18 as head coach, has averaged 8.5 starting lineups per year during his tenure on the sidelines. Toole, who has won 149 games as head coach at Robert Morris, has used 68 different starting lineups overall in the last eight years. That equates to an average of 2.19 victories per starting five. In 2017-18, Toole has employed six different starting lineups, as freshman forward Charles Bain earned his first career start @ St. Francis Brooklyn (2/8/18). Steal City - Robert Morris has consistently been at the top of the Northeast Conference leaderboard in steals throughout head coach Andrew Toole’s tenure, as the Colonials have topped the circuit five times (2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017) under Toole and seven times in the last 10 years. Through 31 games of the 2017-18 campaign, RMU has compiled 241 steals, an average of 7.77 per game that leads the NEC. Guard Dachon Burke paces the NEC individually with an average of 2.10 per game. Junior guard Matty McConnell, RMU’s active leader with 169 career thefts, led the NEC against league foes with an average of 2.18 steals per contest. Shattered Glass - A big reason RMU was able to post its first victory of the 2017-18 campaign in a 66-59 win @ Duquesne (11/19/17) was the work the Colonials did on the backboard. Robert Morris outrebounded the Dukes, 49-32, including a 21-6 advantage on the offensive glass. It marks the highest number of caroms RMU has posted in a non-conference game under eighth-year head coach Andrew Toole as the well as the largest rebounding margin (+17). Double Play - Look no further than junior forward Malik Petteway and sophomore guard Dachon Burke as to why the Colonials posted a 49-32 edge in rebounding in a 66-59 victory @ Duquesne (11/19/17). Petteway finished with 13 points and 14 rebounds, while Burke tallied 11 points and 10 caroms. They became the first duo to record a double-double in the same road game since former Colonials Russell Johnson (200813) and Dallas Green (2006-10) turned the trick in a 72-67 win @ Youngstown State (12/30/09), a span of 147 road contests. Dynamic Debut - Freshman forward Koby Thomas, who tied for game-high honors in scoring with 22 points while also pacing the Colonials in rebounds (6) and steals (2) in RMU’s 2017-18 season opener @ Ohio State (11/10/17), put himself in rarified air in the Robert Morris record book with his performance. The 22 points scored by Thomas are the most points scored by a member of the Colonials making their debut in a season opener. The old record was established by former guard Velton Jones (2008-13), who paced Robert Morris with 15 points @ Syracuse (11/11/09). The 22 points also matched the most points by a student-athlete making his RMU debut. All-time leading scorer Myron Walker (1990-94) finished with 22 points in a 99-94 win @ Dayton (12/19/90) in RMU’s eighth game of the season. Good Point - Jon Williams become just the second point guard in program history to earn a start as a true freshman in his Robert Morris debut @ Ohio State (11/10/17). Williams joined Forest Grant (1980-84) as the only point guards in program history to start their first game as a true freshman. Grant concluded his career with 1,494 points and still owns the career record for assists (555).

At the heart the Robert Morris program since the beginning of the 2007-08 campaign has been one aspect: Defense. Over the last 11 years, the Colonials have held 12 opponents to 45 points or less. The latest team RMU held under the mark was Central Connecticut (1/21/16) in a 59-45 win at Detrick Gymnasium. Since the beginning of the 2007-08 season, Robert Morris has posted 12 of its top 15 best defensive performances against Division I opponents in regard to points allowed. A closer look ...

Economical Margins The defensive pressure that Robert Morris has employed over the last 11 seasons has allowed the program to post each of its top four totals for largest margin of victory against a Northeast Conference opponent in school history. The Colonials earned a 91-38 victory over Bryant (2/3/11) at the Charles L. Sewall Center to not only establish a new school record in an NEC game but also tie the league mark. The record was originally set when Wagner defeated Sacred Heart, 116-63, on February 22, 2000. In fact, only four games in league annals have been decided by 50 or more points, and RMU owns two of them. Robert Morris posted a 95-45 victory over Fairleigh Dickinson (2/7/08) at the Sewall Center, while LIU Brooklyn defeated Wagner, 127-77, Feb. 11, 1998.

Did You Know? Robert Morris has paced the Northeast Conference in steals against league foes in nine of the last 11 years, including each of the last three seasons. The Colonials led the circuit in thefts in 2017-18 with an average of 7.61 per contest. Junior guard Matty McConnell paced the league individually with an average of 2.18 steals per game.

Board Games - Part of following the formula in regard to being successful for RMU over the last 11 seasons has been the program’s ability to crash the boards. Since the beginning of the 2007-08 campaign, Robert Morris owns a record of 147-38 (.795) when the Colonials are even or better in rebounding in a game, including a 139-32 (.813) mark when outrebounding their opponent. Free Is For Me - Robert Morris closed out a two-game road trip through Brooklyn, N.Y., with a 96-82 win @ LIU Brooklyn (2/10/18) by visiting the free-throw line 35 times, converting 24 of those attempts (68.6%). Getting to the charity stripe at least 30 times in a game is a good sign for the Colonials. RMU owns a record of 31-11 (.738) under head coach Andrew Toole when visiting the chalk at least 30 times in a contest, including a perfect 5-1 (.833) in 2017-18. In The Clutch - You certainly could say that Robert Morris has a flair for the dramatic. In an 80-79 overtime win over St. Francis Brooklyn (1/4/18) at the A.J. Palumbo Center, junior guard Matty McConnell became the latest member of the Colonials to hit a buzzer beater for RMU. McConnell converted a layup and then completed the and-one with a free throw to lift the Colonials to the win over the Terriers. A look at the last 10 Colonials to hit a game-winning shot in the final 15 seconds to give RMU a victory: Player Matty McConnell Kavon Stewart Isaiah Still Aaron Tate Lucky Jones Mike McFadden Velton Jones Karvel Anderson Velton Jones Coron Williams

* NEC Tournament; % NIT; # Three-pointer The Anatomy Of Overtime - Robert Morris has been to overtime 11 times under head coach Andrew Toole in his eight years leading the Colonials. Under Toole, Robert Morris is 7-4 (.636) in overtime, including 3-4 (.429) on the road. All-time in program history RMU has posted a record of 29-26 (.527) in overtime contests. So, What’s New? Plenty, to be precise. The 2017-18 version of Robert Morris basketball features 11 newcomers, including six freshman, two junior college transfers, two graduate transfers and a transfer. Among RMU’s 11 newcomers is 10 on scholarship, which is tied for second in the NCAA with Little Rock entering the 2017-18 season. The only program with more scholarship newcomers is Pittsburgh, which has 11. The Colonials won @ Little Rock (11/25/17), 78-64, in the final game of the Grand Canyon Classic. Fit & Fresh - In the history of Robert Morris basketball, a total of 10 true freshman have earned a start in their collegiate debut. Head coach Andrew Toole has added to that list by starting six true freshman in his eight years on the sidelines, including Yann Charles (2010), Elijah Minnie (2014), Matty McConnell (2015), Braden Burke (2016), Jon Williams (2017) and Koby Thomas (2017). Also earning starts as true freshman in their first collegiate games were Forest Grant (1980), Keith Jones (1995), Jeremy Chappell (2005) and Jonathan Clark (2005). Only twice in program history have two true freshman been in the same starting lineup in a season opener. Joining Chappell and Clark were Williams and Thomas @ Ohio State (11/10/17). 30 Rock - Freshman guard Jon Williams has a familiar teammate in his rookie season at Robert Morris, as his older brother, Josh, is also on the 2017-18 roster. Josh Williams transferred to RMU from Akron in April of 2017 and will sit out this season due to NCAA transfer rules. The brothers will have the chance to play two seasons together once Josh Williams is eligible for the 2018-19 campaign. In two seasons with the Zips, Josh Williams appeared in 69 games, producing averages of 7.1 points and 2.2 rebounds per game. Jon and Josh are one of 30 sets of brothers from 29 different programs that play for the same team this season.

The RMU Ring of Honor Devised in the summer of 2013, the Robert Morris Ring of Honor was created to honor the very best of the program in its Division I history. In order to be eligible for the Robert Morris Ring of Honor, a former student-athlete who played basketball with the Colonials must meet at least four of the following five criteria … • RMU Athletic Hall of Fame member • RMU career statistical leader in any category (minimum 5 years) • Named conference player of the year at least once • Earned all-conference first team honors at least once • Member of conference regular season or tournament championship team that advanced to a national postseason tournament The first member to join the Robert Morris Ring of Honor is Chipper Harris, who played guard for the Colonials from 1980 to 1984 and had his banner raised in the rafters at the Charles L. Sewall Center Saturday, Feb. 15, 2014. A 1995 inductee into the RMU Athletic Hall of Fame and a native of New Kensington, Pa., Harris served as the program’s all-time leading scorer from the conclusion of his career in 1984 until 1994 with 1,940 points and currently ranks second all-time. Harris averaged 16.4 points per game over his career, shooting 51.4 percent (821-for1,598) from the field and 78.9 percent (300-for-380) at the freethrow line. RMU’s all-time leader in career steals with 450, he also compiled career totals of 405 rebounds, 436 assists and 21 blocks. In a surprise ceremony Saturday, Jan. 21, 2017, at the Sewall Center, former guard Myron Walker (1990-94) joined the RMU Ring of Honor. The program’s all-time leading scorer with 1,965 points, Walker concluded his career by averaging 18.7 points per game, also a school mark. A 1999 inductee into the RMU Athletic Hall of Fame and a native of Aliquippa, Pa., Walker scored at least 20 points in a game 47 times, the most in school history.

Robert Morris Historical Tidbits In The Beginning - Robert Morris was the first institution to jump directly from the junior college ranks to NCAA Division I. RMU played basketball at the junior college level for 13 seasons from 1963 to 1976, posting a record of 287-58 (.832) under head coach Gus Krop. Krop led the Colonials to a record of 30-1 (.968) in 1968-69 in its sixth season as a junior college program, with its only loss a 79-76 setback to Paducah (Ky.) in the national title game. In his time leading Robert Morris, Krop coached nine All-Americans and also recruited Earl Cureton, a native of Detroit, Mich., who played one season with the Colonials when it was a junior college program (197576) as well as the first season of Division I basketball in 1976-77. I Can’t Drive 55 - The 2017-18 campaign marks the 55th season of intercollegiate basketball at Robert Morris. The Colonials compiled an overall record of 287-58 (.832) in 13 years as a junior college program from 1963 to 1976 and since moving to Division I with the 1976-77 campaign have posted an overall record of 609-637 (.489). Combined, Robert Morris posted a record of 816-610 (.572) over its first 50 years as an intercollegiate program from 1963 to 2013. In honor of 50 years of intercollegiate basketball, Robert Morris enshrined the 1981-82 Colonials, the first squad to qualify for the NCAA Tournament, into the RMU Athletic Hall of Fame Feb. 15, 2014. The First Superstar - Don Mackey (1963-65) was the only player in junior college history to score over 1,000 points in his two seasons with the program. A native of Homestead, Pa., Mackey finished his two years with the Colonials by scoring 1,034 points, and his 43 points in a 125-111 win over Walsh Jan. 30, 1965, still stands as the most points scored in a game by a player in a Robert Morris uniform. He went on to finish his collegiate career at Gannon University and was inducted into the RMU Athletic Hall of Fame Oct. 9, 2010. Mackey is one of nine members of the RMU Athletic Hall of Fame from the junior college ranks, which also includes former All-Americans Perry Johnson (1969), Cleveland Edwards (1969) and Ron Hightower (1971 and 1972). The Twirl - Arguably the best basketball player in school history, in his one season at the Division I level in a Robert Morris uniform Earl “The Twirl” Cureton (1975-77) averaged 17.2 points and 10.5 rebounds per game in 1976-77. Cureton still owns Robert Morris single-season records for rebounds (274) and rebounding average and is the only player in the program’s Division I history to average a double-double. He transferred to the University of Detroit to continue his Division I career and was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers in the third round of the 1979 NBA Draft. He went on to play 12 seasons in the NBA, earning a pair of championship rings, one with the 76ers in 1983 and the other with the Houston Rockets in 1994.

Charter Member - Robert Morris played independently as a Division I program for five seasons before becoming a charter member of the ECAC Metro Conference in 1981, which changed its name to the Northeast Conference in 1988. The Colonials have won eight NEC Tournament titles, the most in league history, and have also appeared in the NCAA Tournament eight times. Robert Morris has won back-to-back NEC Tournament titles on three occasions, including the first two championships in 1981 and 1982. RMU also claimed back-to-back NEC Tournament titles in 1989 and 1990 and again in 2009 and 2010. Dynamic Duo - Led by guards Chipper Harris (1980-84) and Forest “Bay” Grant (1980-84), Robert Morris claimed the first two ECAC Metro Conference Tournament championships in 1981 and 1982. In four seasons, Harris and Grant combined for career totals of 3,434 points, 869 rebounds, 991 assists and 782 steals. Harris scored 1,940 points and still owns the Robert Morris career record for steals (450), while Grant is the program’s all-time leader in assists (555) and scored 1,494 points. The pair helped the ECAC Metro Conference garner its first victory in the NCAA Tournament, as the Colonials upended Georgia Southern, 64-54, in a play-in game at the University of Dayton in Dayton, Ohio, in the 1983 NCAA Tournament. Walk On The Ocean - Former guard Myron Walker (1990-94) continued RMU’s lineage of stellar guards when he arrived on the scene in the fall of 1990 and was a key part of a 1991-92 squad that claimed the program’s fifth NEC Tournament championship and berth in the NCAA Tournament. In his second year with the program, Walker scored 614 points en route to being named the 1992 NEC Player of the Year, the first sophomore in league history to earn the honor. Walker went on to become the program’s all-time leading scorer with 1,965 points and also owns the single-season record for scoring average (20.1 ppg as a senior in 1993-94) and career marks for 20-point scoring games (47) and scoring average (18.7 ppg). Keep On Rockin ... Robert Morris closed out an eight-game road trip to open its 2017-18 season @ Siena (12/2/17), and the Times Union Center became the 15th arena that the Colonials have played in that has also featured a concert by Pearl Jam since the band’s formation in 1990. Also included is John Paul Jones Arena (Charlottesville, Va.), PPG Paints Arena (Pittsburgh, Pa.), the Pan American Center (Las Cruces, N.M.), Time Warner Cable Arena (Charlotte, N.C.), The L.A. Sports Arena (Los Angeles, Calif.), the Verizon Center (Washington, D.C.), the FedExForum (Memphis, Tenn.), Rupp Arena (Lexington, Ky.), the Palace at Auburn Hills (Detroit, Mich.), the Prudential Center (Newark, N.J.), Savage Arena (Toledo, Ohio), the Wolstein Center (Cleveland, Ohio), the Bryce Jordan Center (State College, Pa.) and A.J. Palumbo Center (Pittsburgh, Pa.).

Who Was Robert Morris? Robert Morris, Jr. (January 20, 1734 – May 8, 1806) was a Liverpool-born American merchant and signer of the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and the United States Constitution. He was elected to the Pennsylvania Assembly, became the Chairman of the Pennsylvania Committee of Safety and was chosen as a delegate to the Second Continental Congress, where he served as chairman of the “Secret Committee of Trade” and as a member of the Committee of Correspondence. From 1781 to 1784, he served as the powerful Superintendent of Finance, managing the economy of the fledgling United States. As the central civilian in the government, Morris was, next to General George Washington, “the most powerful man in America.” His successful administration led to the sobriquet, “Financier of the Revolution.” He was one of Pennsylvania’s original pair of U.S. senators, serving from 1789 to 1795. A look at his legacy: - A portrait of Morris appeared on U.S. $1000 notes from 1862 to 1863 - Morris and Roger Sherman were the only two people to sign all three significant founding documents of the United States, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the U.S. Constitution. - The dollar sign ("$") was in common use among private merchants during the middle of the 18th century. It referred to the two columns draped with scrolls on the Spanish milled dollar, which predated the U.S. Dollar. Morris was the first to use that symbol in official documents.

The UPMC Events Center

Robert Morris University announced Thursday, Jan. 19, 2017, the construction of the UPMC Events Center, a 140,000-square foot complex for the Colonials NCAA Division I basketball and volleyball teams, which will play in Peoples Court. The UPMC Events Center is the main part of a $50 million project that also includes a student recreation and fitness center on RMU's Moon Township campus.

The UPMC Events Center will bring the Airport Corridor an attractive new venue for public speakers, conventions, expos, concerts, graduation ceremonies and other family entertainment options. It also will host the university's annual convocation and commencement ceremonies, which have outgrown their current location.

All three teams that will play at Peoples Court - men's and women's basThe project is funded largely through individual donations and corporate ketball and women's volleyball - have won the Northeast Conference title sponsorships, including sponsorships from UPMC, Peoples, Eat'n Park Hos- and advanced to the NCAA tournament within the last three years. pitality Group, PJ Dick and PNC. The project also has received a grant through the Pennsylvania Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program. "RMU is a special place that for a lot folks in this region, including many alumni who attended the old downtown campus without ever setting foot In addition to the 4,000-plus-seat Peoples Court, a practice court, locker on this beautiful campus in Moon," said Morgan O'Brien '82 M'85, presirooms, a strength and conditioning center, offices for athletics, concessions dent and CEO of Peoples and a member of the RMU Board of Trustees. and a souvenir shop, the UPMC Events Center will feature 11,000 square "This events center will create reasons for people from all over the region feet of conference and meeting space for campus events and outside or- to see just how special this campus is. And this collaboration with UPMC ganizations. Plans call for the center to open in January 2019. will make RMU a place students from all over will want to attend." "With a new venue of this quality and size, RMU cements its status as a university on the rise," said RMU President Chris Howard. "Not only is it a significant regional asset, it's a facility worthy of the success for our athletics programs and reflective of our status as a nationally ranked university. This is a great day for the Colonial Nation."

The university's plans call for the UPMC Events Center to replace the Charles L. Sewall Center, a venue more than 30 years old. While construction is underway, the men's basketball team will play its home games at PPG Paints Arena in downtown Pittsburgh as well as the A.J. Palumbo Center on the campus of Duquesne University.

"UPMC is thrilled to be a leading partner with Robert Morris University in this exciting endeavor that will provide long-lasting health and wellness benefits to not only the RMU community but also to people and businesses in this entire region. We applaud and share RMU's commitment to provide our communities with nothing less than world-class care and facilities," said Jeffrey Romoff, president and CEO of UPMC.

RMU has constructed a two-story student recreation and fitness center at the North Athletic Complex, which opened in the fall of 2017. The center features two indoor intramural basketball courts, a fully-equipped weight room and cardio room, two additional rooms for Pilates and other exercise training, plus men's and women's locker rooms, all for general student use.

As part of a broader strategic collaboration with RMU, UPMC became the exclusive provider of sports medicine to the university's 16 NCAA Division I sports programs, and the UPMC Health Plan will administer the university's employees' health insurance benefits. UPMC already provides health care to RMU students at UPMC MyHealth@School, an on-campus health and wellness center that opened in the fall of 2016.

"The new UPMC Events Center, together with the student recreation and fitness center, will literally be a 'game-changer' for not only the athletic department but for the university as a whole," said RMU Director of Athletics Director Craig Coleman, M.D. "It will be a clear sign to the intercollegiate athletics world that RMU does indeed mean business."

The UPMC Events Center is the latest initiative to provide students with a living and learning environment worthy of their expectations and of RMU's "With this partnership, UPMC supports RMU's leading role in the continued growing stature as a national, doctoral-level university.
