STILLWATER, Okla. — After posting a memorable win over Kentucky in the first round of last season’s NIT, life against major-conference foes hasn’t been as pleasant for Robert Morris this season.

The Colonials lost 92-66 at No. 6 Oklahoma State on Monday night and now are 0-2 against major-conference foes, with a trip to Alabama up next - part of a season-long five-game road trip for Robert Morris (5-9), which has played just four home games so far this season.

In the long run, the Colonials — who also have fallen at Kentucky this season — hopefully will benefit from such a difficult stretch, coach Andrew Toole said. But in the short term, he acknowledged the results might not seem like it.
