Game Preview
On the opposite side of the standings, the Virginia Cavaliers and the Morgan State Bears will play each other on Wednesday. Virginia has already proven themselves among the ACC powerhouse, while Morgan State is floundering with a 4-10 record. Despite having just suffered a devastating defeat at the hands of Memphis, where their defense completely collapsed, Virginia now has a chance to recover at home versus unranked Morgan State.
Virginia has a 9-2 overall record, and since this is their final non-conference match entering conference play, they cannot afford to lose. In the past two games, Virginia hasn’t appeared to be very strong. Virginia triumphed by just two points over Northeastern a couple of games ago, and they lost 77-54 to Memphis in their most recent matchup. This offensive simply wasn’t adequate enough, and that has to change. Virginia’s defense allows 55.5 points per contest this season, while their offense averages 65.6 points. Though the defensive unit is ranked 2nd in NCAA basketball, how well the offense performs in the remaining games will determine how successful the team is.
The Morgan State Bears are coming off defeats to Campbell and James Madison, although they did defeat UMBC previously in the month. In terms of shooting percentage, the Morgan State Bears average 74.6 points on 46.1% while giving up 79.6 points on 45.2%. In comparison, Kamron Hobbs averages 10.1 points alongside 2.6 rebounds, while Wynston Tabbs averages 16.4 points along with 3.2 rebounds. Myles Thompson is pulling down 4.4 boards, while Will Thomas represents the third player in double figures. 31.9% from behind the arc and 71.1% from the charity stripe are the shooting percentages for the Morgan State Bears. The Morgan State Bears are pulling down 33.1 boards per game and conceding 34.7% of their shots from beyond the arc.
