What to Know

The Morgan State Bears are 0-6 against the North Carolina Central Eagles since February of 2016, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Saturday. Morgan State and North Carolina Central will face off in an MEAC battle at 2 p.m. ET at Hill Field House. If the game is anything like their last meeting in February of 2020, where the Eagles won 58-57, we could be in for a big score.

The Bears came up short against the Maryland-Eastern Shore Hawks last week, falling 79-72.

Meanwhile, North Carolina Central was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Monday as they fell 74-68 to the South Carolina State Bulldogs.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Morgan State is expected to win a tight contest. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past five games, so buyers beware.

Morgan State is now 7-11 while the Eagles sit at 10-11. The Bears are 3-7 after losses this year, North Carolina Central 5-5.
