As February dwindles to its final days, the smell of postseason college basketball and the March Madness tournament fills the air. The Pittsburgh area has a lot to be excited about with their local teams as Pitt is vying for its first dance since the 2016 season and Duquesne...

It's no secret what the number-one goal of a venue is: getting people to fill the seats. Whether it's for a sports game, concert, or another event, the goal is still the same. For the UPMC Events Center, the goal is to get people to the arena to watch Robert Morris men's and...

Let me set the record straight. Andy Toole is not on the hot seat. Wasn't on it after a last-place Horizon League finish last year, and is not on it after losing his third player in the middle of the season this year. Look, I thought this Robert Morris team was going to be one...
