Morgan State vs Old Dominion Prediction 

Morgan State comes into this contest looking for their first win against a D1 team this year and they have allowed at least 79 points in four of their five games. The Bears are shooting 44% from the field, but are only averaging 33 rebounds per game. Old Dominion has lost two games in a row and they have allowed 99 and 96 in those two losses. The Monarchs are also shooting 44% from the field, but they have scored 69 or fewer in two of their last three. I don’t really love either side in this game, so I will take the points with Morgan State, as Old Dominion has not covered this number in a D1 game this year.
