The record was also tied the next night after Williams turned the trick, when Jordan Lyons of Furman finished 15for-34 from deep in a 107-67 victory over North Greenville (11/15/18). Lyons finished with 54 points. • Senior guard Matty McConnell contributed 12 points, a game-high seven assists and three steals in the win over Mount Aloysius (11/14/18) as Robert Morris shot 50.8 percent (31-for-61) from the field. • Thanks to the performance by Josh Williams in the win over the Mounties, RMU set new single-game team records for three-pointers (22) and three-point field goal attempts (43).
