Alabama was led by 22 points from Mark Sears, who also dished out 10 assists and grabbed five rebounds. Mouhammed Dioubate added 18 points and 10 rebounds. Clifford Omoruyi tallied 17 points, connecting on all eight of his shots from the floor.

The fact that Dickerson kept Robert Morris in the game was more impressive considering the Colonials’ slow start. After opening the game with that 1-of-8 stretch, RMU found its shot, making 15 of its next 31 over the remainder of the first half. Alabama nursed a narrow 40-36 lead at that point.
