University of Pittsburgh assistant basketball coach Mike Rice will be introduced as the new coach of the men's basketball team at crosstown rival Robert Morris University on Thursday at a 3pm press conference.
Rice takes over for Mark Schmidt, who left the 17-11 Colonials to take a position with 7-24 St. Bonaventure.
RMU returns four starters after a 17-11 season that could only be classified as a disappointment, considering that the Colonials were favored to win the Northeast Conference and advance to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in nearly a decade.
