Preview: Green Bay Visits Robert Morris in Horizon League Clash

COROPOLIS, Pa. (Interstat) — A pivotal Horizon League men’s basketball matchup is set for Saturday when the Robert Morris Colonials host the Green Bay Phoenix at the Charles L. Sewall Center.

The Colonials (13-8 overall) enter with momentum, having won three of their last four, including an 88-76 victory over Milwaukee on Thursday. They are led by dynamic guard Ryan Prather, who is averaging 21.4 points over his last seven games. He scored 23 points with five assists in the win over Milwaukee.

Green Bay (11-9) looks to rebound from an 88-81 road loss at Youngstown State on Thursday, which snapped a two-game win streak. The Phoenix are paced by guard CJ O’Hara, who scored 22 points in that defeat and has been a consistent scorer, reaching double figures in six of his last seven outings.

This contest is a quick rematch of a Dec. 4 thriller, which Robert Morris won 80-78 in Green Bay. The Colonials have used a strong home-court advantage, posting a 7-2 record at the Sewall Center this season.

Green Bay’s recent form has been uneven, mixing a 25-point loss to Oakland with solid conference wins. Robert Morris has shown resilience, winning two of its last three games in overtime periods.

A key battle will be on the perimeter between Prather and O’Hara, whose offensive production often dictates their teams’ success. Green Bay will need to contain Prather’s recent scoring surge, while Robert Morris aims to disrupt a Phoenix offense that has topped 80 points in three of its last five games.

The outcome will impact the early Horizon League standings as both teams jockey for position ahead of the conference tournament.
