Cleveland native Amarion Dickerson back home with Robert Morris for NCAA Tournament

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Robert Morris guard Amarion Dickerson will have a large cheering section at Rocket Arena this weekend.

The Horizon League Defensive Player of the Year went to school down the road at Rhodes High School and spoke about getting to come home for his first taste of March Madness.

“It’s a neutral game, but it’ll feel like a home game for us with all the fans traveling from Pittsburgh and all the fans that I have here in Cleveland,” Dickerson said.

Last year Robert Morris had just ten wins, and now they’ve won the Horizon League Tournament for the first time in program history, and will face Alabama in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
