Colonials Bringing Momentum into Dayton

Robert Morris comes into this contest at 18-10 overall and 10-7 in the Horizon Conference. The Colonials have been playing strong basketball lately, going 4-1 in their last five games. They recently defeated Oakland, Cleveland State, Youngstown State, and Wright State, with their only setback coming at Purdue Fort Wayne. That recent 72-66 win over Wright State adds intrigue to this rematch.

On the season, Robert Morris is averaging 78.1 points per game while allowing 73.6 points per contest. They are shooting an efficient 47% from the field and grabbing 38.0 rebounds per game. The Colonials also average 18.1 assists per contest, along with 2.5 blocks and 5.5 steals per game.

The biggest strength for Robert Morris is ball movement. Their 18.1 assists per game highlight how well they share the basketball, and that unselfish style has fueled their recent winning stretch. When they get into rhythm offensively, they can be difficult to slow down.

Raiders Looking to Defend Home Court

Wright State enters at 18-10 overall and an impressive 13-4 in Horizon Conference play. Over their last five games, the Raiders are 3-2, recently defeating IUIN, Cleveland State, and Purdue Fort Wayne while falling to Detroit Mercy and Robert Morris. The loss to the Colonials will no doubt serve as added motivation in this home contest.

The Raiders are averaging 80.4 points per game while allowing 72.9 per contest. They shoot a strong 49% from the field and pull down 35.3 rebounds per game. Wright State also contributes 13.9 assists, 4.5 blocks, and 7.6 steals per contest.

Offensive efficiency stands out for Wright State. Shooting 49% from the field and scoring over 80 points per game, they are capable of putting pressure on opponents early. When they establish an inside presence and finish efficiently, they are tough to beat at the Nutter Center.

Robert Morris Colonials vs Wright State Raiders Pick

Robert Morris Colonials vs Wright State Raiders Spread Pick

  • Pick: Wright State -3.5

Although Robert Morris won the previous meeting, Wright State’s offensive efficiency and home-court advantage are key factors here. The Raiders score over 80 points per game and shoot 49% from the field, which gives them the edge in what should be another competitive matchup. I expect Wright State to respond at home and cover the short number.

Robert Morris Colonials vs Wright State Raiders Total Pick

  • Pick: Over 146.5

I’m leaning toward the over in this Horizon showdown. Both teams average close to or above 78 points per game, and their last meeting finished with 138 points despite solid defense. With Wright State’s high shooting percentage and Robert Morris’ ball movement leading to quality looks, I see this one climbing past the mid-140s.

Final Score Prediction: Wright State 79, Robert Morris 74
