MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. - The IU Indianapolis men's basketball team ran into a freight train as Robert Morris blasted past the Jaguars, 106-53 inside UPMC Events Center on Thursday night (Jan. 30). 

Amarion Dickerson led seven RMU (16-7, 8-4 HL) players in double-digits with 18 points as the hosts shot 52 percent from the floor and 54.5 percent from three-point range. More impressive was RMU won the glass by a 53-26 margin and outscored the Jaguars 48-28 in the paint. The win was the sixth-in-a-row for the Colonials. 

Freshman DeSean Goode scored a career-high 18 points on 6-of-8 shooting and Jarvis Walker pumped in 10 points. 

However, it was a night where Murphy's Law was seemingly applied in that everything that could go wrong, did. The Jaguars shot a meager 34.5 percent from the floor and 3-of-22 from three-point range. Even the typically dependable free throw line betrayed the Jaguars as IU Indy finished the game 12-of-21 at the stripe. 

RMU (16-7, 8-4 HL) needed less than five minutes to build a double-digit lead, doing so primarily on drives and transition buckets. Offensively, the Jaguars got stuck on eight points for more than six minutes as RMU scored 16 straight points to build a 33-8 advantage. Things never took a turn for the better as the Colonials pushed the lead to 55-20 by halftime and cruised the entire second half. 

Freshman Keenan Garner had eight points off the bench and Paul Zilinskas also finished with eight, albeit on 3-of-11 shooting. Sean Craig was harassed into a 1-of-9 shooting night and closed with four points and a team-high 10 rebounds. 

The Jaguars will close out the two-game trip at Youngstown State on Saturday (Feb. 1) at 2:00 p.m. on ESPN+.
