Let's Go Bobby Mo

We finally made it out to the Sewall Center last night for our first Robert Morris hoops game of the season. Shame on us.

First off, the University has done a brand new paint job on the interior walls of the Sewall Center (which the school publicity machine is now calling "The Chuck", and appellation that deserves to die). The walls now sport the red, blue and gray colors of the team as well as the large Colonials logo, pictured above, on either end of the building. Very nice. Makes the place seem much more intimate.

On the floor, the Colonials posted a not very pretty 65-57 win over Mount St. Mary's that took their NEC record to 11-6 and assured a home game in the first round of the NEC tournament. A win on Saturday would assure a #3 seed for them in the tourney.

In truth, this version of the Colonials is not as good as the teams of the prior two seasons, and the news arrived today that an injured Karon Abraham is out for the rest of the season. That does not bode well for a team whose tallest player is 6'7".

Still, it was a fun night at the Sewall Center last night.

Go Colonials!
