Saturday, Dec. 7, 2013 • 4:00 p.m. • Charles L. 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 for just its third home game of the 2013-14 campaign Saturday by hosting Toledo in a 4:00 p.m. tip at the Charles L. Sewall Center. The Colonials are coming off an 84-76 setback @ Youngstown State (12/4/13), which wrapped up an 0-4 road trip and also marked RMU’s sixth consecutive road loss. Junior forward Lucky Jones paced Robert Morris against the Penguins with a career-high 24 points on 7of-10 shooting from the field, including 3-for-4 from deep, and a perfect 7-for-7 performance at the free-throw line. Senior guard Karvel Anderson added 18 points against YSU, while freshman forward Jeremiah Worthem contributed 12 points and a career-high eight rebounds. Senior forward Mike McFadden also scored in double figures, finishing with 10 points while adding four rebounds, two blocks and two steals. The Colonials will have a week off before returning to action after taking on the Rockets Saturday, returning to the road for a 2:00 p.m. tip against Duquesne at the A.J. Palumbo Center Saturday, Dec. 14. Quick Stat of the Night - Barring injury, junior forward Lucky Jones should join the Robert Morris 1,000-point and 500-rebound clubs at some point during the 2013-14 campaign. Jones enters Saturday’s game against Toledo as RMU’s active leader in both points (813) and rebounds (462) and would need to average 8.5 points and 1.7 rebounds in the final 22 games of the 2013-14 regular season to became the 13th player in school history to eclipse both totals. Jones, who is averaging 13.6 points per game to rank second for the Colonials, has shown a penchant in getting to the free-throw line so far this season. Jones is 40-for-47 at the stripe in 2013-14, a success rate of 85.1 percent that ranks fourth in the Northeast Conference. Jones has converted at least six free throws in five of RMU’s nine games this season, including perfect 7-for-7 performances @ Eastern Michigan (11/14/13) and @ Youngstown State (12/4/13).
