The Fairleigh Dickinson men's basketball team (3-10, 2-2 NEC) will be looking to end a seven-game losing streak as they take on defending NEC Tournament champion Robert Morris on Thursday, Jan. 13 at 7:00 p.m. in Moon Township, PA.
FDU is coming off a 66-56 loss to Quinnipiac at home last Saturday. Quinnipiac took control of the game midway through the first half, and the Knights never really posed a threat the rest of the way. Senior Terence Grier (Cranford, NJ/St. Thomas More Prep) paced the Knights with a game-high 20 points, and fellow classmate Kamil Svrdlik (Prerov, Czech Republic/Gymnazium Zlin) ripped down a game-high 11 rebounds.
Robert Morris (6-9, 2-2 NEC) comes into the contest fresh off a road win at Mount St. Mary's last Saturday, 51-48. The Colonials return home after playing six consecutive games on the road and 11 of their last 12. This will be RMU's fourth home game of the season, where they have a 3-0 record.
After playing Robert Morris, the Knights will continue their road trip through Pennsylvania by traveling to Loretto, PA to take on the Red Flash of Saint Francis (PA) on Saturday, Jan. 15. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
The Series Versus Robert Morris: The Colonials hold a one game edge in the series, 31-30, including a 17-9 edge in home games. RMU has won five straight in the series, including both games last season, 80-73 in Moon Township and 65-60 in Hackensack. The last FDU win took place on Feb. 1, 2007 as the Knights held on for an 84-79 victory at RMU.
