MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. - Robert Morris hits the road for a critical late-season showdown against first-place Wright State this Sunday, February 22, at the Nutter Center. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m. and will be broadcast to a national audience on ESPNU. This high-stakes Horizon League clash features two of the conference's hottest teams, as the Colonials look to extend their four-game winning streak and secure a regular-season sweep of the Raiders following their 72–66 victory in Moon Township earlier this month.
RMU LATELY
Robert Morris enters Sunday's matchup as one of the hottest teams in the Horizon League, with an 18–10 overall record and a 10–7 mark in conference play.

WRIGHT STATE LATELY
Wright State enters Sunday's matchup with an 18–10 overall record and a 13–4 mark in Horizon League play, currently sitting at the top of the conference standings.
