New Mexico State Tidbits - The meeting between the Colonials and Aggies marked the first in the all-time series between the two programs ... Junior guard Kavon Stewart dished out a season-high eight assists against just a pair of turnovers ... New Mexico State shot 50.8 percent (21-for-61) from the field, the fourth time in five games to open the 2015-16 campaign an RMU opponent has shot at least 50 percent from the floor ... Robert Morris shot 50 percent (15-for-30) from the field in the second half and 43.9 percent (29-for-66) overall ... The Aggies held a slight edge in points in the paint, 28-26, while the two teams tied in points off turnovers, 15-15 ... New Mexico State suffered 18 turnovers, the second time in three games (Bucknell) an RMU opponent has suffered that many miscues and a season high. The Anatomy of Overtime - Robert Morris went to overtime for the ninth time under sixthyear head coach Andrew Toole in an 81-71 setback @ New Mexico State (11/24/15). The loss snapped a five-game winning streak under Toole when heading to the extra frame, as RMU’s last overtime loss came in an 85-82 setback @ LIU Brooklyn (3/9/11) in the 2011 NEC Tournament final. Under Toole, Robert Morris is 6-3 (.667) in overtime, including 3-3 (.500) on the road. All-time in the program’s 40-year Division I history, the Colonials own an overall overtime record of 28-25 (.528). Picking Up Where He Left Off - Senior guard Rodney Pryor, who was tabbed to the 2015 Preseason All-NEC Team, picked up where he left off from last season in RMU’s first five games of the 2015-16 season. Thanks to 13 points @ New Mexico State (11/24/15), Pryor enters Friday’s game @ Tennessee Tech having reached double figures in scoring in each of his last 15 games dating back to last season. During that stretch, Pryor is averaging 20.1 points per contest while converting an average of 3.00 three-pointers per game. Pryor is looking to become the seventh player in program history to score in double figures in 16 consecutive games Friday @ Tennessee Tech. He would become the first member of the Colonials to turn the trick since former guard Velton Jones (2008-13) reached double figures in 19 straight games in 2011. Block Party - Sophomore forward Elijah Minnie set an RMU single-season school record for blocks in his rookie campaign last year by recording 36 rejections, and he continues to protect the rim early in the 2015-16 season. Minnie finished with a pair of rejections @ New Mexico State (11/24/15) and through the first five games of the year has blocked seven shots, giving him 43 for his career. Suffice to say, should Minnie stay healthy he has a chance to become to become the program’s all-time leader in rejections. The current leader is former forward Magdi Bilall, who finished with 101 blocks from 1987 to 1992. Snow Cone - Sophomore forward Andre Frederick registered the first double-figure scoring game of his career in RMU’s home opener against Bucknell (11/18/15) with 10 points, hitting five of his seven shots from the floor. He also added three rebounds and a pair of steals in a career-high 23 minutes. Frederick chipped in eight points on perfect 4-of-4 shooting from the floor @ New Mexico State (11/24/15) and through the first five games of the year is shooting a team-high 61.1 percent (11-for-18) from the field. 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 three times (2012, 2013, 2014) under Toole and five times in the last eight years. Through RMU’s first five games of the 2015-16 campaign, the Colonials are tied for third in the NEC in steals at 8.00 per game. Junior guard Kavon Stewart leads Robert Morris in the early going this season with eight thefts, an average of 1.60 per contest. Comeback Kids - Robert Morris has made a habit of climbing out of double-digit deficits under head coach Andrew Toole, and that bore fruit in RMU’s 2015-16 season opener. The Colonials trailed Penn at halftime, 44-28, and faced a 17-point deficit, 51-34, with 14:56 to play before roaring back to grab a 72-71 lead with under four minutes left. It marks the 21st time under sixth-year head coach Andrew Toole the Colonials have erased a double-digit deficit. On 19 of those occasions Robert Morris has earned a victory. The Floor General - The 2015-16 campaign marks junior guard Kavon Stewart’s second full season as the starting point guard for Robert Morris. He enters Friday’s game @ Tennessee Tech with 262 career assists in 69 games, an average of 3.80 per contest. Stewart needs 38 dimes to become the 14th player in program history to eclipse 300 career assists and is 123 dimes short of cracking the top 10 in school history in the category. Stewart is also RMU’s active leader in steals and enters Friday’s game with 97 career thefts.

The Chase for 1,000 - Senior guard Rodney Pryor is RMU’s active leading scorer with 644 points as the Colonials continue play in the Air Force Classic Friday @ Tennessee Tech. Pryor has scored a team-high 98 points in five games, a year after leading the Colonials with 546 points last season, and he is looking to become the second player in the last three years to eclipse the 1,000-point plateau in just two seasons at RMU. Former guard Karvel Anderson scored 1,123 points in 69 career games from 2012 to 2014. Pryor needs to average 13.7 points over RMU’s final 26 games of the 2015-16 campaign to eclipse 1,000 career points. He would be the fourth player in school history, and third at the Division I level, to score at least 1,000 points playing just two years. Liftoff - In search of a secondary scorer behind senior guard Rodney Pryor, sophomore forward Elijah Minnie had a breakthrough offensive performance @ New Mexico State (11/24/15). Minnie paced RMU with a career-high 29 points, shooting 11-for-18 from the field, including a 5-for-10 performance from beyond the arc, while going 2-for-2 at the free-throw line. In two games of the Air Force Classic, Minnie is averaging 19.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks while shooting 48.4 percent (15-for-31). Onions - Isaiah Still wasted no time coming through in the clutch for Robert Morris in his rookie season, as the freshman guard drilled a three-pointer from the wing with 8.6 seconds left in regulation to tie the game, 67-67, and send the Colonials to overtime @ New Mexico State (11/24/15). RMU eventually fell to the Aggies in the extra frame, 81-71, but it marks the second straight year a true freshman sent a game to overtime with a clutch three-pointer. Last year, former guard Marcquise Reed (2014-15) hit a three-pointer at the end of regulation @ Mount St. Mary’s (1/22/15) in an eventual 63-59 victory. Billy The Kid - Billy Giles put forth the most complete effort of his young Robert Morris career @ New Mexico State (11/24/15), as the junior forward contributed nine points and five rebounds in 30 minutes of action against the Aggies. Giles shot 3-for-6 from the field and 3-for-4 at the free-throw line and after being held scoreless in his first two games in an RMU uniform has averaged 6.3 points and 3.7 rebounds over his last three games. During that stretch, Giles is shooting 53.8 percent (7-for-13) from the field. Fresh Prince - Freshman guard Matty McConnell, who started in RMU’s 2015-16 season opener @ Penn (11/13/15), became just the seventh true freshman to earn a start in his collegiate debut in the program’s 40-year Division I history. McConnell played 34 minutes against the Quakers, supplying seven points, a team-high five assists and a pair of steals. McConnell is also the third true freshman to start his first Division I game under sixth-year head coach Andrew Toole, joining Yann Charles (2010) and Elijah Minnie (2014). Also earning starts in their first collegiate games were Forest Grant (1980), Keith Jones (1995), Jeremy Chappell (2005) and Jonathan Clark (2005).

Board Games - Part of following the formula in regard to being successful for Robert Morris over the last nine seasons has been the program’s ability to crash the boards. Since the beginning of 2007-08, Robert Morris owns a record of 129-22 (.854) when the Colonials are even or better in rebounding in a game, including a 124-20 (.861) mark when outrebounding their opponent.

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 Colonials will look to continue that in 2015-16. Robert Morris returns its top three-point threat in senior guard Rodney Pryor, who drilled 81 triples last season. In five seasons under head coach Andrew Toole, the Colonials are 33-5 (.868) when draining at least 10 three-pointers in a game.
The Leader - Robert Morris head coach Andrew Toole picked up career victory No. 100 thanks to a 67-65 win @ St. Francis Brooklyn (1/24/15). In six seasons leading the Colonials, Tooled has posted an overall record of 110-70 (.611), including a mark of 65-23 (.739) against the Northeast Conference. Toole is just the second head coach in program history to eclipse 100 career wins, joining former head coach Jarrett Durham, who posted an overall record of 157-183 (.462) from 1984 to 1996. Toole is also the fastest to 100 career wins in Northeast Conference history, reaching the plateau in 160 contests.

Over the last eight years, the Colonials have held 11 opponents to 45 points or less. The latest team the Colonials held under the mark was Mount St. Mary’s (1/3/15), as RMU earned a 70-45 win over the Mount at the Charles L. Sewall Center.

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? Guards Kavon Stewart and Marcquise Reed each recorded 33 steals in 18 league games in 2014-15, tying for leaguehigh honors against Northeast Conference foes with an average of 1.83 steals per game. It marks the first time a student-athlete from RMU paced the league in steals since Velton Jones averaged 2.4 thefts per game in 2011-12.
On The Offensive - Robert Morris opened the 2015 Northeast Conference Tournament at the Charles L. Sewall Center with a 91-68 win over No. 7 Wagner (3/4/15) by shooting 53.6 percent (30-for-56) from the field. In five seasons under head coach Andrew Toole, RMU owns a mark of 32-5 (.865) when shooting 50 percent or better from the field, including a mark of 25-1 (.962) against NEC opponents. Broken down against league foes, Robert Morris is 22-1 in the regular season and 3-0 in the NEC Tournament when converting at least half of its shots. Against non-conference opponents under Toole, RMU is 7-4 (.636) when turning the trick. Defense Wins Championships - At the heart of the resurgence of the Robert Morris basketball program since 2007-08 is defense. Despite a 64-52 loss @ Air Force (11/22/15) in RMU’s first game of the Air Force Classic, RMU owns a record of 138-30 (.821) over the last nine seasons when holding their opponent to under 70 points. In six years under the direction of Andrew Toole, the Colonials own a mark of 85-22 (.794) when turning the trick. Overall in the last nine years, RMU has held its opponent to under 70 points 59.2 percent (168-of-284) of the time. Put Me In, Coach - The 2015-16 Robert Morris roster features just three upperclassmen, which includes seniors Rodney Pryor and Aaron Tate and junior Kavon Stewart. Combined, the Colonials entered the 20115-16 season with 224 combined games of experience. Compare that to the beginning of last season, when RMU owned a total of 355 games of experience entering the 2014-15 campaign. Pryor, Tate and Stewart will provide a large bulk of the leadership for the Colonials in 2015-16, and the trio will do that best by playing. Pryor is RMU’s active leader in both consecutive games played (40) and consecutive starts (32). Stewart has appeared 29 consecutive games and also owns 24 straight starts dating to last year. Protect This House - Thanks to a 66-53 victory over Bryant in the semifinals of the 2015 Northeast Conference Tournament, Robert Morris concluded the 2014-15 season with a record of 10-6 (.625) at the Charles L. Sewall Center. It marked the 10th consecutive year that the Colonials have posted at least 10 wins at home. Since 2005-06, RMU has posted a record of 116-33 (.773) at the Sewall Center. In six seasons at “The Chuck” under head coach Andrew Toole, Robert Morris has compiled a record of 57-18 (.760). Robert Morris is playing its 31st season at the Sewall Center in 2015-16, and overall the Colonials own a record of 269-135 (.666) in the building. Free Is For Me - Robert Morris was able to seal its first victory in the NCAA Tournament since 1983 in an 81-77 over North Florida (3/18/15) by converting at the free-throw line. The Colonials converted 21 of their 33 attempts (63.6 percent) at the charity stripe against the Ospreys, including 17-for-26 (65.4 percent) in the second half. RMU finished 4-1 (.800) in 2014-15 when visiting the chalk at least 30 times in a game and in six seasons under head coach Andrew Toole has posted a record of 19-4 (.826) when turning the trick. In The Clutch - You certainly could say that Robert Morris has a flair for the dramatic. In a 53-52 victory over Central Connecticut (2/14/15) at the Charles L. Sewall Center that wrapped up a two-game homestand, forward Aaron Tate became the latest member of the Colonials to hit a buzzer beater for RMU. Tate scored on a tip-in as time expired to help lift Robert Morris to the win.

The Charles L. Sewall Center aka “The Chuck” Robert Morris celebrated 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 30 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.

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 2015-16 campaign marks the 53rd 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 571-585 (.494). 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.
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. Harris was enshrined in the RMU Athletic Hall of Fame in 1995, followed by Grant in 1996.
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).
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 only 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).
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.
Keep On Rockin ... As part of the Air Force Classic, Robert Morris traveled to Las Cruces, N.M., to take on New Mexico State. The home of the Aggies, the Pan American Center, became the 10th 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 Time Warner Cable Arena (Charlotte, N.C.), the Verizon Center (Washington, D.C.), 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.).
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.
