Green Bay up 16-9 early. It's fun hearing opposing announcers talk so complimentary of the team on the TV broadcast.

81-76 final in OT. GB survives. They did not shoot well tonight but made their living on the FT line; 83% with 29-35, while RMU was 17-24. When you make more FTs than your opponents attempt, it will make up for a lot of other things that you may have struggled with.

Some huge buckets and free throws by Ruedinger down the stretch and in OT.

Robert Morris isn’t great but any road win is great in my book! Great work boys. Massive game on tap for Saturday

To win on a night when the three point shots weren't falling says a lot about the team. CC, Jones and Ruedinger coming up with key plays in the second half. Reynolds with 32 points just finds a way to get it done. The win total this season matches the combined wins of the past three season. You can see the confidence growing heading into the home stretch. They will need it facing the toughest opponents the league has with Youngstown State and Northern Kentucky as huge road blocks.
This was a team win tonight, everyone contributed something. Hall assigned to inbound in crunch time says so much about the confidence Coach Wicks has in the freshman. Douglas breaking a desperation overtime press to kill the clock.

For the last 25 minutes of the game it felt like GB was in control but never able to put together enough stops to take RMU out of the game. Yet as a fan I was never once worried about them losing. There is something about this group that I find comforting as I watch them play. It is a maturity in tight spots that just makes me feel they will eventually make enough plays every time.
In this game it was free throw shooting in OT. They didn't make them all but they stepped up and made the ones they needed.
The RMU coach needs to STFU, man that guy is annoying.
A one day prep against a tough ysu team is up next. LFG!

I watched the game late last night but I managed to avoid knowing anything about the results. I was worried the whole game. I kept thinking about the game where Green Bay was behind the whole game except for the final shot.
I have to agree though that this team has a maturity about it that has shown up down the stretch in many ways. It is always difficult watching a game with so many fouls. This time GB benefited.

It is February 9th 2024 and the Phoenix men are alone in first place in the Horizon league. Just as everyone predicted.
