Robert Morris secured a significant 81-68 victory over Wright State on Senior Day at the Nutter Center, leading from start to finish, according to Yahoo Sports. Despite the loss, Wright State remains in contention for at least a share of the Horizon League regular-season title, needing to win one of its final two games to clinch outright or share the crown.
The game saw standout performances from Wright State players Darius Livingston, who scored 24 points, and Michael Cooper, who added 19, while Robert Morris benefitted from key contributions by Nikolaos Chitikoudis. The Raiders had earlier recorded a home win against Robert Morris, led by TJ Burch's 23-point effort, highlighting the competitive nature of the series between these two teams.
Elsewhere in the Horizon League, Green Bay narrowly defeated Oakland 73-68 despite head coach Doug Gottlieb being suspended, underscoring ongoing league turbulence as tournament seeding remains unsettled. Detroit Mercy, meanwhile, edged out Green Bay 74-70 in a tightly contested matchup, reflecting the close race for league supremacy this season.
Looking ahead, Robert Morris is set to host Detroit Mercy again following Orlando Lovejoy's 33-point performance in their last outing, while Wright State prepares for crucial remaining games against league rivals, including a key February 28 matchup against Purdue Fort Wayne. The league title and tournament seeds will be determined in the final weeks, setting up potentially decisive showdowns.
