Second half costs Lafayette
For 22 minutes, Lafayette was right there. Then Robert Morris got red-hot and shot down the Leopards hopes for a road win.

Lafayette led 35-34 at the intermission after holding RMU to 33.3 percent (13-39) shooting in the first half. And the Leopards were up by four, 43-39, with 18:02 left to play.

Then the Colonials went on a 10-0 run over the next four minutes and went on to an 88-76 win.

All those first half shots must have helped RMU get dialed in. After that 33.3 percent half, the Colonials shot the olights out in the second half, knocking down 20 of 28 (71.4 percent) from the field.

Andrew Brown hit six treys en route to a team-high 24 points for Lafayette. Bilal Abdullah added four more three-pointers and 16 points for the Leopards (8-4), who shot 42.1 percent (24-57) from the field.

RMU outrebounded the 'Pards 42-33 and forced 19 Lafayette turnovers.
