Wednesday, Dec. 18, 2013 • 7 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 searches for its second straight win Wednesday when it welcomes Campbell to the Charles L. Sewall Center for a 7:00 p.m. tilt. The Colonials are coming a 67-63 victory @ Duquesne (12/14/13), which snapped a five-game losing streak, as senior guard Karvel Anderson scored a game-high 17 points on 5-of-11 shooting from the field, including 5-for-10 from beyond the arc. Anderson was one of four players to reach double figures for RMU against the Dukes, as freshman forward Jeremiah Worthem added 15 points and senior guard Anthony Myers-Pate and junior guard Charles Oliver each supplied 10 points. Robert Morris returns to the road for a five-game road trip after hosting the Camels Wednesday, beginning in Rochester, Mich., against Oakland Sunday, Dec. 22, in a 1:00 p.m. tip. The Colonials will also visit Oklahoma State (12/30/13) and Alabama (1/4/14) to close out non-conference play and will open Northeast Conference action with road tilts @ Sacred Heart (1/9/14) and Bryant (1/11/14) as part of its longest road trip of the 2013-14 campaign. Quick Stat of the Night - Lucky Jones was a key force on the glass in helping Robert Morris snap a five-game losing streak with a 67-63 victory @ Duquesne (12/14/13), as the junior forward pulled down a game-high 11 boards. Thanks to the outburst against the Dukes, Jones pushed his career total in rebounds to 476, leaving him just 24 caroms shy of becoming the 17th member of the RMU 500-rebound club. Jones is also the active leading scorer for the Colonials with a career total of 843 points entering Wednesday’s game against Campbell and, barring injury, should become the 13th player in school history to eclipse career totals of both 1,000 points and 500 rebounds in 2013-14. Should Jones eclipse 1,000 career points this year, he would be the ninth player in program history to turn the trick in his junior season and the first since former guard Velton Jones (2008-13) accomplished the feat during the 2011-12 campaign. Wednesday’s Opponent and The All-Time Series RMU vs. Campbell Campbell and Robert Morris meet on the hardwood for just the second time Wednesday, with Series Record .........

Last RMU Win ............ 12/4/12; RMU, 61-58 Current Streak ....................................... RMU, 1 Wednesday’s game wraps up a home-and-home Toole vs. Cambpell ...................................... 1-0 series between the two programs. In last year’s contest guard Karvel Anderson’s three-pointer with 4.5 seconds to play helped lift RMU to the victory. The Camels had one last chance, but Trey Freeman’s three-pointer as time expired was off the mark. The contest featured 14 ties and 13 lead changes, with forward Lucky Jones leading Robert Moris with 15 points, five rebounds and four assists. Anderson added 13 points, while forward Mike McFadden chipped in 10 points and a team-high seven rebounds.
