The Saint Francis University Red Flash looks to rebound after five straight Northeast Conference setbacks Thursday evening with a matchup against Robert Morris. The contest is the third of SFU's season-long four-game home stand.

The Colonials (12-7, 4-2) are on a four-game winning streak after opening the NEC slate with losses to Bryant and Central Connecticut.  RMU is 5-4 in road games this season but has not dropped a contest away from the Sewell Center since Dec. 20 (79-74 at Arkansas State).

Senior guard Velton Jones leads Robert Morris' four players who average double-digit scoring totals with 12.0 points per game.  Karvel Anderson is a close second contributing 11.6 points per outing.  The team's leading rebounder (5.9 ppg), Lucky Jones, chips in 10.6 points per game.

Saint Francis is 15-21 all time against the Colonials in Sweet Loretto. 

Junior guard Umar Shannon (Atlantic City, N.J./Atlantic City) was out of Saturday's game against Sacred Heart with a lower body injury.

The Red Flash returns to action on Saturday when it hosts Wagner for a 4 p.m. game.
