2014-15 RMU Basketball
Home On The Road - Freshman guard Marcquise Reed etched his name in the Robert Morris record book by scoring a game-high 24 points @ No. 6 North Carolina (11/16/14) as part of the Battle 4 Atlantis. Reed established a record for most points scored by a freshman playing his first road game, eclipsing the 22 points former guard Myron Walker (1990-94) scored in a 99-94 victory @ Dayton (12/19/90). Walker, the program’s all-time leading scorer with 1,965 points, was playing in his first Division I game at Robert Morris when he posted his performance against the Flyers. Reserve Clause - Thanks to the contributions of freshman guard Marcquise Reed, the Robert Morris bench enters Wednesday’s game @ Bradley averaging 31.5 points in two games, a margin of +12.5. The group is shooting 39.3 percent (22-for-56) from the field, a stark contrast from the starters, which have shot just 22.8 percent (13-for-57). Protect The Rim - It’s early in the 2014-15 campaign, but if there is one thing that freshman forward Elijah Minnie has proven, it’s that he can be a force in the paint on the defensive end. In helping the Colonials post six blocks @ North Carolina (11/16/14) in RMU’s first game of the Battle 4 Atlantis, Minnie rejected a game-high three shots. He recorded a pair of blocks in his collegiate debut against Lafayette (11/14/14) and through two games already owns five blocks. The single-season school record for the category of 35 was established during the 2008-09 campaign by former forward Rob Robinson (2008-10). Veteran Struggles - Robert Morris entered the 2014-15 season with three starters and six letterwinners returning from last season, and the group has gotten off to a slow start. Senior forward Lucky Jones, senior guards David Appolon and Charles Oliver, junior forward Stephan Bennett and sophomore guard Kavon Stewart have combined to shoot just 20.7 percent (12for-58) from the field, including 5-for-22 (22.7%) from beyond the arc, in the first two games of the year. Despite combining to shoot 76.6 percent (23-for-30) from the free-throw line, the group has supplied an average of 26.0 points over the first two games. Did You Know? Forwards Lucky Jones (246) and Aaron Tate (158) were RMU’s top two rebounders in 2013-14, combining to finish with 404 caroms on the year. Jones and Tate are just the sixth duo in school history to combine for at least 400 rebounds in a season and the first since former Colonials Jeremy Chappell and Rob Robinson combined for exactly 400 caroms during the 2008-09 campaign. Tate will make his 2014-15 debut Wednesday @ Bradley after sitting out the first two games of the year due to a violation of team rules. Surf Board - Forward Lucky Jones led Robert Morris in rebounding last season by averaging 6.8 rebounds per game, which ranked fifth in the NEC. Jones finished the 2013-14 campaign by grabbing 246 rebounds, which ranks fourth in the RMU single-season record book. Jones enters Wednesday’s game @ Bradley with 670 career rebounds, which ranks sixth all-time at Robert Morris. He is just 12 caroms shy of moving into the top five and is 82 shy of breaking the all-time record of 751 that is currently held by a pair of former Colonials. Former forward Anthony Dickens grabbed 751 rebounds from 1985 to 1990, while former guard Tony Lee tied that mark with 751 boards from 2004 to 2008. International Waters - RMU has consistently been at the top of the Northeast Conference much of the previous decade in regard to its three-point shooting, and the 2013-14 season provided much of the same. In 36 games in 2013-14, RMU converted 271 of its 703 attempts (38.5%) from beyond the arc. Robert Morris led the NEC in three-point field goal percentage in 2013-14 while ranking second in the NEC in three-point field goals made per game (7.53). In four seasons under head coach Andrew Toole, the Colonials own a record of 30-5 (.857) when converting at least 10 three-pointers in a game. Defense Wins Championships - At the heart of the resurgence of the Robert Morris basketball program since the beginning of the 2007-08 campaign is defense. The Colonials enter the Wednesday’s game @ Bradley with a record of 123-24 (.837) over the last eight seasons when holding their opponent to less than 70 points. In five years under head coach Andrew Toole, the Colonials own a mark of 72-17 (.809) when turning the trick. The People’s Court - In five seasons under head coach Andrew Toole, Robert Morris owns a record of 47-12 (.797) at the Charles L. Sewall Center, including a mark of 28-7 (.800) against the NEC. The Sewall Center has also proven to be a tough place to play for nonconference opponents, as RMU is 13-3 (.813) against non-conference opponents in the regular season at home.

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.

During the 19992000 season, former guard Gene Nabors (1995-2000) paced the circuit in scoring by averaging 19.1 points per game.

RMU’s Last Game - Robert Morris opened up a five-game road swing with a 103-59 loss to No. 6 North Carolina, Nov. 16, at the Dean E. Smith Center as part of the Battle 4 Atlantis. The Colonials slipped to 0-2 for the second time in three years with the setback, while the Tar Heels improve to 2-0. The inside combo of Kennedy Meeks and Brice Johnson combined for 44 points and 20 rebounds for UNC while shooting 72.7 percent (16-for-22) from the field. Meeks supplied 21 points and 12 rebounds, while Johnson finished with a team-high 23 points and eight boards. The Tar Heels opened the contest by scoring the game’s first 12 points. Marcquise Reed snapped RMU's offensive drought with a jumper at the 16:07 mark of the first half, which was a sign of what was to come from the freshman guard. Reed's basket sparked the Colonials, as Robert Morris went on a 10-3 surge to close its deficit to 15-10 at the 13:33 mark of the first half as the rookie supplied eight points during the run. The advantage for North Carolina again reached double digits with 12:10 left before halftime, 21-10, thanks to four points from Johnson and a layup from Meeks. UNC would keep its cushion in double digits until an 8-2 run that featured four points from Reed and three points from senior guard David Appolon closed RMU's deficit to 33-25 with 5:33 left before the break. The Tar Heels regrouped, outscoring Robert Morris, 20-10, over the final five minutes of the first stanza in grabbing a 53-35 lead at the break. UNC scored the first 11 points of the second half to open up a 29-point advantage and never looked back. Reed took home game-high honors in scoring on the contest, converting 10 of his 15 shots from the field, including his only attempt from beyond the arc, and went 3-for-4 at the charity stripe for 24 points. He also added two rebounds and a steal. He was the only player from RMU to score in double figures. Junior guard Rodney Pryor finished with nine points, three rebounds and a steal for Robert Morris, while Appolon contributed five points and a team-high five rebounds. In addition to Johnson and Meeks, Marcus Paige (15 points) and Justin Jackson (13) scored in double figures for North Carolina, which shot 50.7 percent (36-for-71) from the field but was just 4-of-16 (25%) from beyond the arc. Robert Morris shot 44.8 percent (13-for-29) from the field in the first half but struggled after the break, hitting just nine of its 32 attempts from the floor (28.1%) and finished the game at 36.1 percent (22-for-61).

2014-15 RMU Basketball
Finding His Footing - Kavon Stewart had an up-and-down rookie season in 2013-14, but the point guard settled in as RMU’s reserve, earning valuable experience as he takes over in a starting role in 2014-15. Over the final 17 games of the 2013-14 season, Stewart averaged 5.3 points and 2.7 assists per game while also recording an assistto-turnover ratio of 1.35. Overall in 2013-14, Stewart ranked 11th in the Northeast Conference in assists per game (2.80) and 13th in steals per contest (1.10). Stewart concluded the season ranked fourth on the Colonials in steals with 33 in 30 games and produced his best game of the season @ Oakland (12/22/13), establishing career highs in both points (11) and assists (9). On The Offensive - En route to earning its second consecutive Northeast Conference regular-season title in 2014 thanks to a record of 14-2 (.875), RMU posted a mark of 4-0 last season against league opponents when shooting 50 percent or better from the floor. In four seasons under head coach Andrew Toole, the Colonials own a mark of 24-3 (.889) when shooting 50 percent or better from the field, including a perfect mark of 18-0 against NEC opponents. Broken down against league foes, Robert Morris is 16-0 in the regular season and 2-0 in the NEC Tournament when converting at least half of its shots from the floor. Steal City - Robert Morris finished the 2013-14 campaign tops in the Northeast Conference in steals, averaging 7.08 per game. It marked the fifth time in the last seven years that the Colonials have paced the league in steals. RMU also led the NEC in steals per game against league foes for the sixth time in the last seven seasons by averaging 8.06 per contest, ahead of Mount St. Mary’s (7.44). RMU’s active leader in steals entering Wednesday’s game @ Bradley is forward Lucky Jones, who owns 132 career thefts. Comeback Kids - Robert Morris proved throughout the 2013-14 campaign that no lead was safe for an opponent, climbing out of a double-digit deficit in four of its last nine games. In a 60-57 victory over Saint Francis U. (3/8/14) in the semifinals of the 2014 NEC Tournament, the Colonials erased a 10-point deficit in the first half, 16-6, to earn the win. RMU also erased a 15-point deficit in the second half of a 69-64 win @ Fairleigh Dickinson (2/27/14) and fell behind by 16 points against LIU Brooklyn (2/20/14) before charging back to grab a 73-64 win. In a 71-70 overtime victory over St. Francis Brooklyn (2/22/14), Robert Morris eclipsed a 12-point deficit in the second half to post a win. The win over the Red Flash marked the 15th time RMU has climbed out of a double-digit deficit to earn a victory in four seasons under head coach Andrew Toole. There’s An App For That - No member of the Colonials benefitted more from the eightman rotation in 2013-14 than guard David Appolon, who played arguably his best basketball in an RMU uniform down the stretch of last season. Despite being injured in the first half of an 89-78 win @ St. John’s (3/18/14) in the first round of the 2014 National Invitation Tournament (NIT), Appolon averaged 6.5 points and 5.2 rebounds over his final 16 games of the season while shooting 47.5 percent (38-for-80) from the field. During that stretch the Colonials posted a record of 13-3 (.813). Appolon’s best game came in a 73-64 win over LIU Brooklyn (2/20/14), when he established career highs in points (13) and rebounds (9). Board Games - Part of following the formula in regard to being successful for Robert Morris over the last eight seasons has been the program’s ability to crash the boards. Since the beginning of 2007-08, Robert Morris owns a record of 117-19 (.860) when the Colonials are even or better in rebounding in a game, including a 112-17 (.868) mark when outrebounding their opponent. In Andrew Toole’s five seasons as head coach, Robert Morris has posted a record of 60-13 (.822) when outrebounding its opponent. Moving On Up - RMU’s 66-60 victory @ Saint Francis U. (2/13/14) helped head coach Andrew Toole move into second place all-time in program history for career victories. In his fifth season at Robert Morris in 2014-15, Toole has compiled a career record of 90-51 (.638) and in 2013-14 moved from fourth to second all-time in program history for career victories by a head coach. He surpassed his predecessor, former RMU head coach Mike Rice, who posted a 73-31 (.702) mark in three seasons guiding the Colonials from 2007 to 2010, as well as former head coach Mark Schmidt (2001-07), who in six seasons posted a record of 82-90 (.477). RMU’s all-time leader in victories is former head coach Jarrett Durham, who went 157-183 (.462) in 12 seasons from 1984 to 1996.

Did You Know? Robert Morris enters the 2014-15 campaign having paced the Northeast Conference against league foes in steals for six of the last seven seasons, including a league-high 8.06 per game in 2013-14. The Colonials have also led the circuit three straight seasons under fifth-year head caoch Andrew Toole entering the 2014-15 season. In 16 games against league foes last year, a trio of players recorded at least 20 steals. Guard Karvel Anderson led the way with 26 thefts, an average of 1.63 per game that ranked sixth individually in the NEC. Forward Lucky Jones ranked one spot behind Anderson in seventh place in the NEC against league opponents with an average of 1.44 steals per game, while guard Anthony Myers-Pate ranked ninth (1.31).
Block Party - Forward Stephan Bennett is RMU’s active leader in blocked shots, as he enters Wednesday’s game @ Bradley with 49 rejections. Bennett is 30 blocks shy of moving into the top five all-time in career rejections and has a shot at breaking the career record of 101 that is held by former center Magdi Billal (1987-92). Put Me In, Coach - Forward Lucky Jones enters Wednesday’s game @ Bradley as RMU’s active leader for consecutive games played (57) and consecutive starting assignments (15). Overall, Jones has appeared in 107 career games, including 77 starts. Barring injury, Jones could establish a new Robert Morris career record for games played in his final season of eligiblity in 2014-15. Currently owning the record is former point guard Anthony Myers-Pate, who appeared in 137 games from 2010 to 2014. Jones also has an opportunity to become just the sixth player in school history to start at least 100 games should he earn 25 starts in 2014-15. In The Clutch - You certainly could say that Robert Morris has a flair for the dramatic. In a 71-70 overtime win over St. Francis Brooklyn (2/22/14) that helped the Colonials clinch the 2014 Northeast Conference regular-season championship, forward Lucky Jones became the latest member of the Colonials to hit a buzzer beater for RMU. Jones hit a layup off an offensive rebounds with 3.1 seconds left in the extra frame to lift Robert Morris to the win.

Rare Air - Forward Lucky Jones has an opportunity to join select company in his final season of eligibility in 2014-15. Jones enters Wednesday’s game @ Bradley with career totals of 1,206 points, 670 rebounds and 139 three-pointers and has an opportunity to join former guard Jeremy Chappell (2005-09) as the only players in school history to eclipse career totals of 1,500 points, 600 rebounds and 200 three-pointers. Chappell, who was named the 2006 Northeast Conference Rookie of the Year in addition to earning 2009 NEC Player of the Year accolades, ranks third in school history in points (1,875) and fifth in rebounds (681) while owning the RMU career school record for three-pointers with 243. Jones currently ranks sixth at Robert Morris in career boards and will surpass Chappell with his 20th rebound this season and is also on pace to conclude his career ranked in the top five all-time in scoring. Freebies - A big reason forward Lucky Jones joined the RMU 1,000-point club in his junior campaign last season is due in large part to his ability to get to the free-throw line. In his first three years in a Robert Morris uniform, Jones converted 336 of his 420 attempts at the charity stripe, a success rate of 80 percent. Jones ranks fourth all-time in program history for career free throws made and owns a career free-throw percentage of 80.2 percent (341-for-425) after going 5-for-5 against Lafayette (11/14/14) in RMU’s 201415 season opener. Jones has an outside shot of breaking the career record for free throws in his final season, as the mark of 495 is held by former point guard Velton Jones (2008-13). Lucky Jones owns the RMU single-game record for most free throws without a miss when he went 13-for-13 in a 60-48 win over Saint Francis U. (2/6/13). Protect This House - Thanks to a 72-61 victory over Campbell (12/18/13), Robert Morris notched victory No. 250 at the Charles L. Sewall Center. Protecting its home court at “The Chuck” has become a key part to RMU’s success over the last decade. During its stretch of nine consecutive winning seasons, the Colonials have posted a record of 106-27 (.797) at home, including a mark of 64-16 (.800) against Northeast Conference opponents.

Robert Morris celebrates its 30th season of playing its home games at the Charles L. Sewall Center in 2014-15. The facility was dedicated in 1985 and named for the man who served Robert Morris as president from 1967 until 1989. The Sewall Center has been the site where the Northeast Conference Tournament champion has been crowned in men’s basketball a total of six times in the last 29 years, with the Colonials winning four of those titles. RMU won the NEC Tournament on its home court in 1989, 1990, 1992 and 2009. The 2009 NEC Tournament men’s basketball championship game held at the Sewall Center featured the first sell-out crowd in school history, with 3,227 fans packed into the arena to watch Robert Morris post a 48-46 win over Mount St. Mary’s that was televised nationally on ESPN2. Former forward Dallas Green (2006-10) hit the game-winning shot with 2.2 seconds to play to help lift the Colonials to their sixth NEC Tournament title. A look at the year-by-year record for Robert Morris at the Sewall Center:

The Need for Three Over the course of the last decade, converting the three-point shot and Robert Morris has become synonymous. Despite having its string of consecutive seasons with at least 200 three-pointers snapped at six by finishing with 197 in 2009-10, the Colonials are at the top of the Northeast Conference over the last 10 years in three-point field goals made per game. Since the start of the 2004-05 campaign, the Colonials have averaged 7.25 three-pointers per contest, ahead of LIU Brooklyn (7.19). Guard Karvel Anderson paced the Colonials in 2013-14 with 119 three-pointers, an average of 3.31 per game that led the NEC.

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. Half A Century - The 2014-15 campaign marks the 52nd 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 has posted an overall record of 551-567 (.493). 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 seven NEC Tournament titles, the most in league history, and have also appeared in the NCAA Tournament seven 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. Harris was enshrined in the RMU Athletic Hall of Fame in 1995, followed by Grant in 1996. 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 at the time an RMU singleseason school record 614 points en route to being named the 1992 NEC Player of the Year, the only sophomore in league history to earn the honor. Walker, a native of Aliquippa, Pa., went on to become the program’s alltime 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 ... As part of the 2014 Battle 4 Atlantis, Robert Morris will travel to Washington, D.C., and take on Big East foe Georgetown in the Verizon Center. The home of the Hoyas will become the eighth 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 in the list is 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 the A.J. Palumbo Center (Pittsburgh, Pa.), home of the Duquesne Dukes.
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.
