Colonials Looking to Stay Hot on the Road
Robert Morris enters this contest at 18-10 overall and 10-7 in Horizon League play. The Colonials have been solid away from home this season and come in riding momentum, having gone 4-1 in their last five games. They recently won 93-69 over Oakland, picked up an 85-68 victory at Cleveland State, earned a 72-66 win at Youngstown State, and also defeated Wright State 72-66 at home before dropping an 83-71 decision at Purdue Fort Wayne. This team has proven it can compete both at home and on the road, and that recent win over the Raiders adds an extra layer of intrigue.
Offensively, Robert Morris averages 78.1 points per game while shooting 47% from the field. They also allow 73.6 points per contest, showing they can score but sometimes struggle to lock down opponents for a full 40 minutes. The Colonials pull down 38.0 rebounds per game and distribute 18.1 assists per outing, highlighting strong ball movement and a balanced attack.
One of the biggest strengths of this team is its offensive flow. The 18.1 assists per game stand out in the Horizon League, as Robert Morris consistently moves the ball to find high-percentage shots. While they only average 2.5 blocks per game, they do generate 5.5 steals and rely more on positioning and discipline than pure athleticism on defense. If the Colonials can dictate tempo and continue their efficient shooting, they will once again put pressure on Wright State’s defense.
Raiders Defending Home Court
Wright State is also 18-10 overall but sits higher in the Horizon standings at 13-4 in conference play. The Raiders have been strong at home in the Nutter Center and have gone 3-2 over their last five games. They recently beat IUIN 85-73, won 102-90 at Cleveland State, and picked up a 73-68 victory over Purdue Fort Wayne. However, they suffered a 77-74 loss to DETM and fell 72-66 at Robert Morris in their earlier meeting.
The Raiders boast one of the top offenses in the conference, averaging 80.4 points per game while shooting an impressive 49% from the field. They give up 72.9 points per contest, which is slightly better than Robert Morris defensively. Wright State averages 35.3 rebounds and 13.9 assists per game, showing they rely more on shot-making efficiency than heavy ball movement.
A key aspect of Wright State’s game is its defensive disruption. The Raiders average 7.6 steals and 4.5 blocks per game, significantly higher than Robert Morris in both categories. That rim protection and perimeter pressure could be critical in avenging their earlier loss. If Wright State can convert turnovers into transition points and protect the paint, they will have a strong chance to cover at home.

Robert Morris vs Wright State Spread Pick
- Pick: Wright State -3.5
Wright State at home is a different challenge than on the road, and that earlier loss to Robert Morris should serve as motivation. The Raiders shoot nearly 50% from the field and are capable of scoring in bunches. While the Colonials are playing well, I expect Wright State’s defensive playmaking and home-court edge to be the difference in a tight contest.
Robert Morris vs Wright State Total Pick
- Pick: Over 146.5
I’m leaning toward the over in this matchup. Both teams average close to or above 78 points per game, and their previous meeting reached 138 despite modest shooting stretches. With Wright State’s pace at home and Robert Morris’ efficient offense, I believe this game pushes into the mid-70s on both sides. I see enough scoring firepower to clear this number.
