Ohio Loses to Robert Morris


Remember when Ohio University's basketball team had all the hype in the preseason? That seems like a long time ago. Ohio finished off its miserable non-conference portion of their schedule with a 79-76 overtime loss to Robert Morris on Sunday.

Ohio led the entire game up until the 11:21 mark of the 2nd half. From there, Ohio and Robert Morris exchanged the lead a few times and the game headed to overtime.

In overtime, Robert Morris gained the lead early and hung on to win 79-76.

Karon Abraham had a huge game for the Colonial scoring 28 points. Gary Wallace and Coron Williams were huge off the bench for Robert Morris scoring a combined 27 points.

For Ohio, five players scored in double-digits with Tommy Freeman leading the way with 15 points.

D.J. Cooper had 13 points and 8 assists but had a very poor shooting game going 2-10 from the field and 8-16 from the free throw line.

The loss is just one of many questionable losses for Ohio on the season.
