Junior guard Matty McConnell scored a game-high 24 points and also added six rebounds and six steals ... Junior forward Malik Petteway notched a double-double in the win over the Bearcats with 12 points and 10 rebounds ... Petteway finished 4-for-4 from the floor and 4of-7 at the free-throw line.

Niagara Tidbits - RMU opened its 2017-18 campaign with a 73-70 exhibition win @ Niagara (10/27/17) in a game to raise awareness and financial support for continued hurricane relief efforts ... The contest featured 13 ties and 13 lead changes ... The Colonials took the lead for good, 65-63, with 2:37 to go on a pair of free throws from junior guard Matty McConnell ... The Purple Eagles missed a pair of three-point attempts with under two and-a-half minutes to go, and a jumper from McConnell with 2:01 left gave Robert Morris a 67-63 lead ... McConnell scored a game-high 27 points and added five rebounds and five steals, while freshman forward Koby Thomas chipped in nine points and a game-high 13 rebounds.

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 and Trojans will square off this season in the final game of the Grand Canyon Classic Saturday, Nov. 25.

The Veteran - Junior guard Matty McConnell is the elder statesman for RMU in 2017-18, as he is the program’s active leader in points (437), rebounds (215), assists (115) and steals (111). McConnell also owns the longest streak for consecutive games by a student-athlete at Robert Morris, as he has played in 60 straight contests for the Colonials dating back to his freshman season. A consistent presence on the defensive end, McConnell has averaged 1.79 steals per game in his 62 career contests and enters his junior season needing 51 steals to crack the top 10 all-time at Robert Morris in the category.

Did You Know? In seven seasons under head coach Andrew Toole, Robert Morris has compiled a record of 78-32 (.709) when scoring at least 70 points in a game. Included in that record is a mark of 28-4 (.875) when eclipsing the 80-point plateau.

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.

Plenty Of Playing Time - Given the number of new faces on the RMU roster in 2017-18, the latest batch of Colonials will have plenty of opportunities to work their way into the rotation.

Robert Morris returns a total of 1,611 minutes from last season in junior guard Matty McConnell (854), sophomore guard Dachon Burke (755) and junior forward Seth Rouse (2). Only six programs enter the year with fewer minutes returning from last year, led by Mississippi Valley State. The Delta Devils return just 386 minutes from last season. RMU is also one of just five programs to feature no seniors on its roster in 2017-18, joining Chattanooga, The Citadel, Holy Cross and Kentucky.

Close Out - Robert Morris, which is one of 19 mid-major programs to average at least 20 wins a year (20.7) over the last 10 years, has used defense as its calling card in the last decade. Six of the top 10 marks for scoring defense in the Robert Morris record book have come since Andrew Toole joined the staff, including three as an assistant coach (2007-10) and the last seven as head coach. The school record for scoring defense came in Toole’s second season as head coach in 2011-12, when the Colonials yielded just 63.5 points per game. Last season, RMU allowed an average of 67.8 points per contest, which ranked second in the Northeast Conference and is tied for 10th all-time in program history.

Defense Wins Championships - Speaking of defense, the numbers bear out that following in the footsteps of defending is victories. Over the last 10 seasons, the Colonials own an overall record of 157-44 (.781) when holding their opponent to under 70 points. Under Andrew Toole, RMU owns a mark of 104-36 (.743) when turning the trick. Overall in the last 10 years, the Colonials have held their opponent to under 70 points 58.4 percent (201-of-344) of the time.

On The Offensive - Thanks to shooting 51 percent (25-for-49) from the floor in a 79-72 win over Sacred Heart (2/25/17) in RMU’s final game at the Charles L. Sewall Center, RMU improved to 37-5 (.881) when shooting 50 percent or better from the field in seven seasons under head coach Andrew Toole, including a mark of 29-1 (.967) against NEC opponents. Broken down against league foes, Robert Morris is 26-1 (.963) in the regular season and 3-0 in the NEC Tournament when converting at least half of its shots.

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. In 2016-17, RMU posted a league-high average of 7.91 steals per contest. Robert Morris returns two of the top six pick pockets from a year ago, as guard Matty McConnell ranked third in the circuit in steals per game (1.64), while guard Dachon Burke ranked sixth (1.55).

Start Me Up - Head coach Andrew Toole, who is in his eighth year at the helm of the Colonials in 2017-18, employed 10 different starting lineups last season. Toole, who has won 134 games in seven seasons as head coach at Robert Morris, has used 62 different starting lineups during his tenure. That equates to an average of 2.16 victories per starting five. In his seven seasons on the sideline, Toole has used an average of 8.9 starting lineups per year.

Fit & Fresh - In the 41-year Division I history of Robert Morris basketball, a total of eight true freshman have earned a start in their collegiate debut. Head coach Andrew Toole has added to that list by starting four true freshman in his seven years, including Yann Charles (2010), Elijah Minnie (2014), Matty McConnell (2015) and Braden Burke (2016).

That list is expected to grow Friday, as rookies Jon Williams and Charles Bain are both listed as probable starters. Also earning starts in their first collegiate games in the history of Robert Morris basketball were Forest Grant (1980), Keith Jones (1995), Jeremy Chappell (2005) and Jonathan Clark (2005).

Good Point - Jon Williams has a chance to become just the second point guard in program history to earn a start as a true freshman in his Robert Morris debut when the Colonials open the season Friday at Ohio State. The only other point guard to start as a true freshman was Forest Grant (1980-84), who concluded his career with 1,494 points and still owns the career record for assists (555). In exhibition road victories over Niagara (10/27/17) and Saint Vincent (10/30/17), Williams produced averages of 13.5 points and 5.5 assists. In a 73-70 win over the Purple Eagles, Williams finished with 17 points and seven assists in 35 minutes of action.

Close and Late - A common theme in the seven 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 52-31 (.627) in games decided by five points or less, including a mark of 7-6 (.538) in games decided by a single point.

Cole Train - While Robert Morris returns just three letterwinners from last season, the Colonials should get a boost with the debut of redshirt freshman David Cole in 2017-18.

Cole earned a non-medical redshirt in 2016-17 and in two exhibition victories averaged 3.5 points and 3.5 rebounds. He is one of five players on the 2017-18 roster listed at 6’7” or higher, joining a group that includes freshman forward Charles Bain (6’8”), junior forward Malik Petteway (6’8”) and graduate transfers Ronnie Gombe (6’8”) and Xavier Williams (6’9”).

Power Forward - While redshirt freshman David Cole brings experience to the table for RMU in 2017-18, the Colonials should get a boost from forward Malik Petteway, who in two exhibition victories averaged 9.0 points and 8.5 rebounds while shooting 66.7 percent (6-for-9) from the floor in wins over Niagara and Saint Vincent.

At the heart the Robert Morris program since the beginning of the 2007-08 campaign has been one aspect: Defense. Over the last 10 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 10 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.

* NEC Tournament; # three-pointer Board Games - Part of following the formula in regard to being successful for RMU over the last 10 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 140-32 (.814) when the Colonials are even or better in rebounding in a game, including a 132-27 (.830) mark when outrebounding their opponent.

Free Is For Me - Robert Morris earned a 79-72 victory over Sacred Heart (2/25/17) in the program’s final game at the Charles L. Sewall Center by visiting the free-throw line 32 times, converting 19 (59.4 percent). Getting to the charity stripe at least 30 times in a game is a good sign for the Colonials. RMU owns a record of 26-10 (.722) under head coach Andrew Toole when visiting the chalk at least 30 times in a contest.

Comeback Kids - Robert Morris has made a habit of climbing out of double-digit deficits under Andrew Toole, and that bore fruit in a 79-72 victory over Sacred Heart (2/25/17) in the program’s final game at the Charles L. Sewall Center. The Colonials trailed the Pioneers, 18-7, with 13:16 to play in the first half before charging back to earn the victory. It marked the 25th time under Toole the Colonials have erased a double-digit deficit in his seven seasons as head coach. On 23 of those occasions Robert Morris has earned a victory.

The Anatomy Of Overtime - Robert Morris has been to overtime 10 times under head coach Andrew Toole in his seven years leading the Colonials. Under Toole, Robert Morris is 6-4 (.600) in overtime, including 3-4 (.429) on the road. All-time in program history RMU has posted a record of 28-26 (.519) in overtime contests.

Alert and Active - Six times in seven years under head coach Andrew Toole the Colonials have posted at least 15 steals in a game. To put that total in perspective, all-time in program history on record RMU has finished with at least 15 steals in a game 15 times against Division I opponents. The record of 19 came Feb. 6, 2012, against Bryant and was matched Dec. 15, 2012, against Duquesne.

Home Insurance - Robert Morris played 32 seasons at the Charles L. Sewall Center from 1985 to 2017, and overall the Colonials posted a record of 278-149 (.651) in the building. In the final 12 years of playing its home games at the Sewall Center, RMU posted a record of 125-47 (.727) and in seven seasons at “The Chuck” under head coach Andrew Toole, Robert Morris compiled a record of 66-32 (.673). RMU will play its 2017-18 home slate at both PPG Paints Arena (eight games) and the A.J. Palumbo Center (four contests) on the campus of Duquesne University while the UPMC Events Center is being contstructed on the RMU campus. As part of its 2016-17 home slate, RMU played a pair of games in Pittsburgh, Pa., at PPG Paints Arena. The Colonials won their first “home” contest at PPG Paints Arena, earning a 64-60 victory over Duquesne (12/6/16).

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 (1975-76) 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 595-621 (.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 served as RMU’s all-time leading scorer with 1,940 points from the conclusion of his career until 1994 and still owns the Robert Morris career record for steals (450), while Grant is the program’s all-time leader in assists (555). 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 ... RMU wrapped up the road portion of its 2016-17 nonconference slate @ Virginia (12/17/16), and John Paul Jones Arena became the 14th 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 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 centerfeatures 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.

We look forward to mally dedicated last spring for the School of Nursing and Health Sciences, making the UPMC Events Center a crown jewel for RMU and for Pittsburgh is the third new academic building opened on campus in the last five years. and western Pennsylvania," said Romoff.
