FAIRBORN, Ohio (Interstat) ā A pivotal Horizon League menās basketball matchup with postseason implications is set for Sunday when the Wright State Raiders host the Robert Morris Colonials at the Ervin J. Nutter Center. Both teams enter with identical 18-10 overall records, making this a critical contest for conference tournament seeding. The matchup is a quick rematch from Feb. 4, when Robert Morris earned a 72-66 home victory over Wright State. The Colonials ride a three-game winning streak, including a dominant 93-69 victory over Oakland on Feb. 15. Forward DeSean Goode has been a force, averaging 18.3 points and 9.7 rebounds over his last three games. In the first meeting against Wright State, Goode posted 16 points and two blocks. Wright State has won two straight since that loss, most recently an 85-73 win over IU Indy on Feb. 19. Guard TJ Burch leads the Raidersā charge, averaging 23 points and six assists in his last two outings. He scored 14 points in the earlier loss to Robert Morris. The game features two of the leagueās top recent performers. For Robert Morris, Goodeās inside presence will be key, complemented by the backcourt play of Ryan Prather, who dished 10 assists against Oakland. Wright State will counter with Burchās scoring versatility and the interior play of Michael Imariagbe, who had 19 points in the last game. With the rematch occurring just 18 days after the first clash, adjustments will be paramount. Robert Morris will aim to complete a regular-season sweep on the road, while Wright State seeks to defend its home court and level the series. The outcome will significantly impact the standings as both teams jockey for position ahead of the final week of the regular season. Tip-off is scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
