2013-14 RMU Basketball
Charles In Charge - Junior guard Charles Oliver provided the Colonials with a huge spark off the bench in the second half of a 67-63 victory @ Duquesne (12/14/13) that helped Robert Morris snap a five-game losing streak. In a three-minute stretch, Oliver scored 10 straight points, which helped RMU turn a 44-43 advantage into a 54-48 cushion with 8:40 to play. It marked the third double-figure scoring game of the season for Oliver, who provides the Colonials with another deep threat. In the three games that Oliver has eclipsed the 10-point plateau, he has averaged 11.0 points while shooting 68.8 percent (11-for-16) from the field, including 58.3 percent (7-for-12) from deep. What shouldn’t come as a surprise is that in those three contests, RMU is 3-0. In Oliver’s other eight games? He is averaging just 3.6 points per contest while shooting 25.6 percent (10-for-39) from the floor, including 20.8 percent (5-for-24) from beyond the arc. Shooter - Senior guard Karvel Anderson enters Wednesday’s game against Campbell having reached double figures in scoring in each of RMU’s first 11 games of the 2013-14 season as well as 12 straight dating back to last season. It marks the longest streak by a member of the Colonials since former guard Velton Jones (2008-13) scored in double figures in 19 consecutive games from Feb. 19, 2011 to Dec. 22, 2011. During his streak, Anderson is averaging 18.4 points per contest while shooting 50.3 percent (78-for-155) from the field, including 48.4 percent (44-for-91) from deep. Anderson, who scored at least 20 points in a game a total of five times last year, has already eclipsed the 20-point plateau five times this season. Thanks to his 23-point performance against Toledo (12/7/13), Anderson became the 20th player in school history with at least 10 games of 20 or more points. A Streak Snapped - All good things must come to an end, and for Robert Morris, it had one of its most impressive streaks snapped in an 84-76 setback @ Youngstown State (12/4/13). The Colonials shot an even 50 percent (27-for-54) from the field against the Penguins, snapping a streak of 35 consecutive victories dating back to the 2008-09 campaign when RMU converted at least 50 percent of its shots from the floor. RMU has now dropped two straight when turning the trick, as the Colonials shot a season-high 63.3 percent (31-for-49) from the field in an 80-77 setback to Toledo (12/7/13). Robert Morris is now 20-2 (.909) in four seasons under head coach Andrew Toole when shooting at least 50 percent from the floor. Double Nickel On A Dime - Senior guard Anthony Myers-Pate dished out a season-high nine assists in RMU’s 88-81 victory over UT Arlington (11/21/13) to go along with 10 points, and thanks to his performance cracked the top 10 all-time in program history for career dimes. Myers-Pate enters Wednesday’s game against Campbell with 364 career assists, a total that eclipsed former Colonial Jeremy Chappell (2005-09) for 10th all-time at Robert Morris. Through 11 games of the 2013-14 season, Myers owns 49 assists against 18 turnovers to rank second in the Northeast Conference in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.72) while ranking sixth in the circuit in assists per game (4.45). In 112 career contests, Myers-Pate has proven to be a steady ball handler, posting a career 1.92 assist-to-turnover ratio. International Waters - Robert Morris is coming off a record-breaking season in shooting from beyond the arc in 2012-13, and the Colonials have picked up right where they left off from a season ago. Through the first 11 games of the 2013-14 season, RMU has converted 90 of its 225 attempts (40.0 percent) from beyond the arc. Robert Morris enters Wednesday’s tilt against Campbell leading the Northeast Conference in both three-point field goal percentage and three-point field goals made per game (8.18). Robert Morris has drilled at least 10 three-pointers in five of its first 11 games of the 2013-14 campaign, posting a 4-1 (.800) record in those contests. RMU is 27-4 (.871) in four seasons under head coach Andrew Toole when converting at least 10 three-pointers in a game. Comeback Kids - Robert Morris earned a 90-81 victory @ Lafayette (11/12/13) in its first road game of the 2013-14 campaign by climbing out of an 11-point deficit in the second half. The Colonials fell behind the Leopards, 59-48, with 14:01 remaining before coming back to tie the score, 70-70, and closing the game 15-6 run to earn the win. It marks the 10th time RMU has climbed out of a double-digit deficit to earn a victory in four seasons under head coach Andrew Toole. Defense Wins Championships - At the heart of the resurgence of the RMU basketball program over the last seven seasons has been defense. Since the beginning of the 2007-08 campaign, Robert Morris owns a record of 110-22 (.833) when holding its opponent to less than 70 points. In four seasons under head coach Andrew Toole, the Colonials are 59-15 (.797) when turning the trick.
