The Roadrunners were out for revenge against UCColorado Springs in the RMAC quarterfinals March 1. After dropping the final regular season game to UCCS just days before, Metro finished on top this time with the 82-77 win propelling them to the semifinals at Fort Lewis March 4. Entering the game, the Roadrunners were the No. 4 seed
while UCCS came in at No. 5. The rivalry between both schools was even more prominent with win or go home implications in order making for an aggressive game on both sides of the court. In the final two minutes of the game, Metro was perfect at the free throw line going 6-for-6. For the game, the Roadrunners shot 78.8 percent from the line punching their ticket to the
next round. Senior guard Tony Dobbinson led Metro in scoring with 23 points along with five assists and three steals. Junior forward/center Andre Harris scored 18 points and had four assists before fouling out in the second half. “I need to be smarter when playing in games because they need me on the floor,” Harris said.
