MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. - The IUPUI basketball team fell victim to a hot shooting Robert Morris squad on Thursday night (Jan. 4) as the host Colonials shot 61 percent from the field in a resounding 92-48 win. RMU connected on 9-of-24 from three-point range and feasted on 18 IUPUI turnovers in the victory.

IUPUI built a quick 6-2 lead to start, including a Brady four-point play, before RMU ripped off a 16-2 run and never looked back. The Colonials built an easy 44-24 halftime lead, shooting 63.3 percent in the opening half. 

RMU proceeded to outscore the Jaguars 15-4 to start the second half, turning the remainder of the night largely into garbage time.
