2nd HALF
RMU opened the second half with a dominant 10-3 run, securing their first double-digit lead at 45-35. The Colonials continued to expand their advantage, with
Darius Livingston's layup pushing the lead to 61-41 before his later three-pointer created their largest gap of 27 points, making the score 77-50.
HEAD COACH ANDY TOOLE
"I want to give Chris Klimchock and Pitt-Greensburg a lot of credit. They had a game last night and they came in here and really competed. I am a little disappointed in our detail tonight, In the 2
nd half, we picked up our defensive urgency and made them take either contested 2-pointers off the dribble or contested 3-pointers. We took advantage of our size and strength and I think DeSean and Nikolaos did a good job with that/"
