After dropping their season opener at home, Robert Morris is headed out to face a Fightin’ Blue Hens team ready to give their home crowd a win. Delaware took an 85-73 hit to the loss column at the hands of Bucknell on Monday. The Fightin’ Blue Hens got off to an early lead (up 12 with 12:05 left in the first quarter), but sadly they weren’t able to maintain that momentum.

Meanwhile, Robert Morris had to start their season on the road on Monday, and it wasn’t the start they were hoping for. They were dealt a punishing 87-59 defeat at the hands of West Virginia. The Colonials just can’t catch a break and have now endured eight losses in a row dating back to last season.
Robert Morris struggled to work together and finished the game with only eight assists. That’s the fewest assists they’ve posted since back in December of 2023.
