# Keightley Classic; * NEC game

Thursday, Nov. 21, 2013 • 7:00 p.m. • Sewall Center (3,056) • Moon Township, Pa. Radio: 970 ESPN AM with Chris Shovlin (play-by-play) & Jim Elias (color) Follow RMU Men’s Basketball on Twitter and Instagram: RMUMBasketball Top Story - The Robert Morris University men’s basketball team returns home to the Charles L. Sewall Center Thursday night to continue play in the Keightley Classic by hosting UT Arlington in a 7:00 p.m. tip. The Colonials are coming off an 87-49 loss @ No. 1 Kentucky (11/17/13) to conclude a 1-2 (.333) road trip as senior guard Karvel Anderson paced RMU with 16 points while grabbing five rebounds. Junior guard Desjuan Newton was the only other player to reach double figures for Robert Morris against the Wildcats, scoring all of his career-high 11 points in the second half. The Colonials converted just 23.2 percent (16-for-69) of their shots from the field @ Kentucky, tying a mark for their lowest field goal percentage in the Andrew Toole era. RMU also shot 23.2 percent (16-for-69) in a 64-47 loss @ Memphis (12/29/11). Robert Morris returns to the road after hosting the Mavericks Thursday, opening a four-game road swing and concluding play in the Keightley Classic Saturday, Dec. 23, with a 3:00 p.m. tip @ Cleveland State. The Colonials will also visit Buffalo (Nov. 26), Delaware (Nov. 30) and Youngstown State (Dec. 4) during their road trip before returning home to the Sewall Center to take on Toledo Saturday, Dec. 7. Quick Stat of the Night - Robert Morris concluded its first road trip of the 2013-14 season with a 1-2 (.333) record, and a return to the friendly confines of the Charles L. Sewall Center should bolster the Colonials. Under fourth-year head coach Andrew Toole, RMU carries a record of 11-1 (.917) in non-conference tilts at “The Chuck” during the regular season. The only loss for Robert Morris in that span is a 62-58 setback to Cleveland State (12/8/11), meaning the Colonials carry a seven-game winning streak into its game Thursday against UT Arlington. A big reason Robert Morris owns that seven-game winning streak has been the play of senior guard Karvel Anderson. In his two years in an RMU uniform, Anderson is averaging 13.2 points in five regularseason non-conference tilts while shooting a staggering 65.7 percent (23-for-35) from the field, including 68 percent (17-for-25) from beyond the arc.
