Morgan State vs South Carolina State Prediction

I’ll lean toward Morgan State. The Bears were able to take care of Maryland Eastern Shore in their latest outing thanks to 45.8 percent shooting from the field and 80 percent (20-of-25) at the line alongside just six turnovers. Morgan State also held the Hawks to just 39.7 percent shooting on the other side. The Bears have won six straight games now, scoring 78 or more points in all of them.

These teams last saw each other back on January 10 in a 72-67 home win for the Bears. In that one Morgan State shot a nice 45.5 percent from the field with just eight turnovers. That said, the Bears also gave up 50.9 percent shooting on defense along with a 33-24 rebounding deficit and 60.7 percent (17-of-28) at the line. The Bears need to get busy under the basket in the road rematch but I think they’ve got a good shot here.
