Freshman forward Deshawndre Washington made his Robert Morris debut in his hometown of Chicago, Ill., playing five minutes and shooting 0-for-1 from the field.
 
The Next Step - Guard Dante Treacy is proving to be multifaceted in his sophomore season, as he's been a complete player during RMU's road trip. Over the last three games, Treacy has posted averages of 12.0 points, 3.3 assists and 1.7 steals per contest while shooting 53.8 percent (14-for-26) from the field, including 45.5 percent (5-for-11) from beyond the arc. Twice during that span he's scored a career-high 13 points, including an 85-65 win over Howard (11/15/19) and again @ UIC (11/21/19). Treacy also is a perfect at the free-throw line early in the 2019-20 season, having knocked down each of his six attempts at the stripe.
 
Reserve Clause - Sophomore guard Jalen Hawkins is proving to be a key contributor for RMU off the bench in the early going of the 2019-20 campaign. He paced the Colonials @ UIC (11/21/19), finishing with career highs in both points (14) and steals (4) and notching his second double-figure scoring effort of the year. Hawkins has proven capable of getting to the chalk, as he leads Robert Morris and ranks seventh in the Northeast Conference in free-throw percentage at 82.4 percent (14-for-17). Hawkins finished 4-for-5 at the free-throw line against the Flames and through six games, despite an average of 19.0 minutes per contest, owns 26.2% (17-of-65) of RMU's trips to the charity stripe.
 
Amongst The Waves - Junior forward AJ Bramah notched his second career double-double @ Toledo (11/16/19), finishing with 10 points and a career-high 16 rebounds. The 16 caroms are the most by an RMU student-athlete in almost 15 years. Former forward A.J. Jackson (2003-08) finished with 19 points and 16 boards in a 97-85 win over Charleston Southern (12/17/05) at the Charles L. Sewall Center. In addition, Bramah's 16 rebounds tied an RMU single-game record for caroms in a road game. Former forward Earl Cureton (1976-77) posted 16 rebounds in a 66-64 overtime loss @ Howard (12/14/76) in RMU's seventh NCAA Division I contest in program history.
 
Point Break - Jon Williams is RMU's active leader in assists, having produced 287 dimes in 74 career games, an average of 3.88 per contest that ranks eighth in the Robert Morris career record book. Williams is 13 assists shy of becoming the 15th player in school history to compile at least 300 career helpers. He also owns a career assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.62, which is tied for sixth in program history with former guard Andre Boyd (1987-91).
