RMU Basketball is back on a win streak after wins over Wright State and Green Bay, with the latest coming Friday night by 22 points. But after beating the worst team in the Horizon League, the Colonials are on the road to take on one of the best teams in Milwaukee (13-6, 6-2).
The Panthers are at the end of a three-game homestand, with wins over Green Bay and coming off an impressive 79-64 victory over league contender, Youngstown State. RMU can get over .500 in league play and make a case for being in the top tier itself with a win on Sunday afternoon.
Here are the keys to the game for the road team.
1. Good perimeter defense without fouling
Milwaukee’s strength is in its backcourt offensively, with four double-digit scoring guards. Themus Fulks (15.3 ppg and 4.9 apg) leads the way, while Kentrell Pullian and AJ McKee are also in the mix as go-to options. Plus, Erik Pratt has recently returned, averaging 10.7 ppg off the bench as the team’s 6th Man. They aren’t a good shooting team but they thrive slashing to the basket. So if you’re the Colonials, you have to do not only a good job preventing them getting easy buckets, but also without fouling.
2. Dealing with Jamichael Stillwell on the boards
The Panthers are one of the best rebounding teams in the nation, ranking in the top 10 at just under 42 a game, including 15 offensive rebounds on average. Stillwell, who missed a couple of games before returning the last game, is averaging 13.4 ppg and 11.9 rpg, which is first in the nation. The other elite rebounder in the Horizon League is RMU’s Alvaro Folguerias, who is producing 12.8 ppg and 10.3 rpg. The Colonial big man will need to have a good game to have a chance on the road.
3. Kam Woods having an all-league performance
Is there are chance that Woods can make his way to an all-league team? He’s currently averaging 14.5 ppg and 4.4 apg, with his shooting percentages starting to rise after a few good outings. He’s been good on the road as of late as well, including a 29-point outing at Oakland.
Milwaukee is one of the top teams in the Horizon League, and beating them on the road will be a tough challenge. If Woods doesn’t have a good game, then RMU Basketball isn’t going to win.

What is behind the steep increase in rental prices?
A recent antitrust lawsuit accuses software company RealPage for pricing scheme harmful to renters.
The Federal Trade Commission filed a lawsuit against property manager Greystar Thursday, accusing the Charleston, S.C.-based company of charging consumers hidden fees adding up to “hundreds of millions of dollars” since at least 2019.
Greystar manages properties across the U.S. including in the Milwaukee and Madison areas.
“The FTC is suing Greystar for deceptively advertising low monthly rents only to later saddle tenants with hundreds of dollars of hidden junk fees,” said FTC Chair Lina M. Khan in a Jan. 16 press release.
The lawsuit was filed alongside the State of Colorado.
The hidden fees “allegedly range from tens to hundreds of dollars a month,” and include utility fees, “valet trash” fees, package handling fees and more, according to the FTC’s press release.
The agency also alleged that tenants “often have not discovered the fees until after they have signed a lease or moved in.”
“Simply put, consumers cannot lease a Greystar-managed apartment by paying only the advertised price,” the Jan. 16 complaint alleges.

The property management company manages more than 800,000 apartments across the U.S., the release said.
The FTC’s lawsuit comes days after the U.S. Department of Justice and several other state attorneys general filed a lawsuit against six of the largest landlords in the U.S., including Greystar. The DOJ complaint accuses the property management companies of sharing non-public rent data in a software system, causing tenants to lose bargaining power.
How many properties does Greystar manage in Wisconsin?
Greystar manages several properties around the Milwaukee area, according to its website, including the The Lydell in Glendale, Deer Run in Brown Deer and Evoni in Milwaukee. It also manages two properties in Madison.
