Robert Morris defeats IU Indianapolis 74-58 as Jaguars play short-handed in Horizon League matchup

Colonials pull away behind efficient shooting and rebounding edge

Robert Morris beat IU Indianapolis 74-58 on Wednesday, Jan. 28, in Moon Township, Pennsylvania, handing the Jaguars another setback in Horizon League play. The result left IU Indianapolis at 6-17 overall and 2-10 in conference action, while Robert Morris improved to 14-9 and 6-6 in the league.

The Jaguars entered the game without junior Kyler D’Augustino, the Horizon League’s leading scorer, who was sidelined after being injured in IU Indianapolis’ previous outing. IU Indy’s absence at the top of the scoring hierarchy reshaped the offensive workload and limited lineup flexibility against a Robert Morris team that generated points from multiple sources.

Key performances and defining numbers

Robert Morris guard Ryan Prather Jr. led the game with 20 points, shooting 6-for-10 from the field. Prather went 4-for-5 from three-point range and made all four of his free throws. Darius Livingston added 14 points, and Ta’Zir Smith finished with 11 points on 5-for-7 shooting.

For IU Indianapolis, Micah Davis scored 18 points and added four assists and two steals. Reece Hagy contributed nine points, hitting all three of his field-goal attempts.

• Robert Morris shot 49% from the field and hit 11-of-22 (50%) from three-point range.
• The Colonials held a 41-24 advantage on the boards, including 14 offensive rebounds.
• Those extra possessions translated into 15 second-chance points for Robert Morris, while IU Indy was limited to six.

How the game tilted

Robert Morris’ combination of perimeter accuracy and rebounding control proved decisive. The Colonials’ ability to extend possessions—particularly through offensive rebounds—created repeat opportunities that widened the margin and kept IU Indianapolis from building sustained momentum. With Robert Morris converting at a high rate from beyond the arc, IU Indy faced additional pressure to match scoring bursts without the lineup’s top scorer available.

What’s next

IU Indianapolis was scheduled to return to conference play Friday, Jan. 30, with a road game at Youngstown State. Robert Morris continued its Horizon League slate with the win providing a stabilizing result in the middle of conference play.

Final score: Robert Morris 74, IU Indianapolis 58 (Jan. 28, Moon Township, Pa.).
