RMU Wins NEC Regular Season Title

RMU Wins the NEC Regular Season Title

                Missed the big win?  No problem, we have all of the highlights here for you.  It was a game that came down to the very end to determine who would come out on top.  When the game was over, Robert Morris University edged Bryant by 77-75.   This win advanced RMU’s record to 21-9 overall and 13-4 in the NEC standings. By clinching the number one spot in the NEC, this allows the Colonials to host their postseason tournament games as long as they keep advancing.  Some notable players include Junior guard Karvel Anderson, who scored a game high of 24 points.  17 of those points were scored in the second half.  With only 18.9 seconds left in the game, Karvel scored the last points of the game with an incredible 3 pointer that put RMU into the lead. 

Although the Colonials won the NEC Regular Season Title, their journey to get there was not an easy one.  When starting the NEC season, RMU lost their first two games.  This put Bryant in the spotlight, while RMU struggled to figure out what went wrong.  The Colonials ended up getting back to their roots and they won the next 12 of 14 games.
