Know Your Non-conference Opponent: Robert Morris

I know you’re not here for a history lesson, but Robert Morris was an interesting dude. He was everything from the richest man in North America to an inmate in a debtor’s prison, in between serving a vital role in the American Revolution on the side of the eventual victors. He was born in Liverpool, signed the Declaration of Independence, and died in a modest home in New Jersey. Google him.

Anyway, the university named after his is Xavier’s first opponent this season. They were 16-17 last year, crashing out of the Horizon League tournament in an overtime loss to Cleveland State.
