Robert Morris vs IUPUI Prediction

I’ll stick with Robert Morris. The Colonials could use a better defensive effort here though, as they gave up 54.9 percent shooting from the field and 45.8 percent (11-of-24) from outside in their latest loss to Fort Wayne. Robert Morris posted 44.4 percent shooting themselves and were competitive on the boards and in the paint. It wasn’t enough for the home win, though. The Colonials are scoring well during this 1-3 stretch but they’re giving up a lot on the other side as well.

As for IUPUI, they gave up a whopping 60.3 percent shooting from the field with a 37-19 rebounding deficit in their latest loss to Milwaukee. The Jaguars are currently riding a six-game losing skid, but they’ve scored 72 or more points in five of those defeats. We’ll likely see a high total in this one.
