Robert Morris has had a rough go of things this year; they’ve only been able to win consecutive games once so far. The Colonials are currently riding a four-game losing streak to IUPUI, UIC, Northern Kentucky and Wright State in that time.
In the Wright State game, the Colonials were up 32-29 by halftime. Robert Morris was outscored 29-42 from there in a 71-61 loss. Leading scorer Kahliel Spear put up 14 points with seven rebounds in the defeat.
Over on the Youngstown State side, they had a spotty 3-7 run back in December/January but otherwise have been quite the consistent team this season. The Penguins have lost their last two games though, falling to Wright State and Northern Kentucky.

The Penguins are 6-2 ATS in their last eight at home and 1-4 ATS in the last five overall. Youngstown State is 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 Tuesday games.
Meanwhile, the Colonials are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 after an ATS win and 4-1-1 ATS in their last six road games. Robert Morris is 11-4 ATS in their last 15 Tuesday games.
PICK: I’m going to stay with Youngstown State. The Penguins really need a bounce-back effort after going just 2-3 in their last five games, though. One of those losses came on February 13 to Robert Morris in a 73-68 affair (the other meeting was a 64-60 Penguins win). Youngstown State is going to need to get the offense going early in this one, but I think they’ll be okay on a revenge cover here if they can get off to a good start.
