Morgan State vs Delaware State Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup playing well over the last few weeks, but Delaware State will have the home-court advantage. The Hornets are shooting 45.8% from the field this year and they are scoring nearly 77 points per game. Morgan State is shooting nearly 50% from the field and they are scoring 81.8 points per game, but their defense has been an issue. The Bears are allowing 81.5 points per game this season and they have allowed at least 90 points in five straight road games. I do like the Morgan State offense, but I can’t trust their defense to make a stop when they need it. Take the over in this contest.
