Regular Season Records: Robert Morris 7-23; Youngstown State 18-13

What to Know

After two games on the road, the Youngstown State Penguins are heading back home. They and the Robert Morris Colonials are set to clash at 7 p.m. ET March 1 at Beeghly Physical Education Center in the first round of the Horizon Conference Tourney. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.

The game between Youngstown State and the Northern Kentucky Norse this past Saturday was not particularly close, with the Penguins falling 75-61.

Meanwhile, the Colonials came up short against the Wright State Raiders this past Saturday, falling 71-61.

Youngstown State is the favorite in this one, with an expected 8.5-point margin of victory. Now might not be the best time to take Youngstown State against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past three consecutive games.

When the two teams last met earlier in the regular season, Youngstown State was in the race but had to settle for second with a 73-68 finish. Can they avenge their loss, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
