OAKLAND, Mich. (Interstat) β A pivotal Horizon League menβs basketball matchup awaits Sunday as the Oakland Golden Grizzlies visit the Robert Morris Colonials at the Charles L. Sewall Center. The game, scheduled for Feb. 15, 2026, features two teams heading in opposite directions entering the final stretch of the conference schedule. Robert Morris (17-10 overall) has won four of its last five games, while Oakland (14-12) has dropped two straight and four of its last six. The Colonials, led by dynamic guard Ryan Prather, are riding high after an 85-68 road victory at Cleveland State on Thursday. Prather scored 25 points and dished six assists in that win, continuing a stellar stretch where he has averaged 19.4 points and 4.6 assists over his last eight games. Oakland will counter with forward Michael Houge, who is coming off a 21-point performance in a narrow 86-82 home loss to Youngstown State on Thursday. Houge has been a consistent force, scoring in double figures in eight consecutive games, including an 18-point, 12-rebound double-double in a win over Northern Kentucky on Feb. 1. History favors the Golden Grizzlies in this series, however. When these teams met in Rochester on Jan. 4, Oakland delivered a commanding 96-73 victory. The Colonials will seek to avenge that loss and protect their home court as they jockey for postseason positioning. Robert Morris has found success recently with a balanced attack; in the win over Cleveland State, DeSean Goode added 14 points and Darius Livingston had 15. Oakland, meanwhile, will need more support behind Houge after relying heavily on him and guards Tuburu Naivalurua and Brody Robinson in the recent loss. The contest promises significant implications for the Horizon League tournament seeding. A Robert Morris win would solidify its standing above .500 in conference play, while Oakland aims to stop its skid and split the season series. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m. EST in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania.
