The second half wasn’t much better for RMU. The Colonials again were unable to tie up the game or take the lead. The Colonials closed the gap to 10 points at 16:26 when Matty McConnell had scored two points on a jumper from the paint. After that, the Broncs finished off the half until they were the named the winner of the game with a 69-50 win over Robert Morris.
