Robert Morris Dismantles D-III Geneva in Home Opener
Robert Morris has now been on both ends of a buy-game blowout.
After the loss to Iowa by 32 points in the season opener, they turned around and completely dismantled Division-III Geneva in the home opener, 93-47.
The Colonials used their added size and talent level to outscore the Golden Tornados 56-10 in the paint and tallied 35 points off of 26 forced turnovers.
While neither game was particularly close, both serve a long-lasting purpose.
The loss to Iowa showed Andy Toole exactly where his team needed to get better over the course of the season while the win over Geneva allowed Toole to get extended looks at many key depth players.

That would be the only time that the score was tied for the remainder of the game as the Colonials jumped out on a 12-0 run and claimed a double-digit lead just over five minutes into the game.

The lead grew to 30 points by the 12:36 mark of the second half when Josh Hill made a transition layup following a defensive rebound by Livingston.
With the lead well over 30 points, Toole was able to play some guys down the stretch part of the game that have either not played much or at all such as Samuel Obenjo, Jeremiah Littlejohn and Eddie Cooke.
In total, Toole played 14 different players and all but one of them scored at least one point.
Robert Morris will remain at home as they host Pitt-Greensburg on Thursday evening before hitting the road for games at St. Bonaventure and Monmouth.
