What to Know
The Morgan State Bears are on the road again on Thursday and play against the #24 Wisconsin Badgers at 7 p.m. ET Dec. 23 at Kohl Center. The Badgers will be strutting in after a win while Morgan State will be stumbling in from a defeat.
The contest between Morgan State and the Mount St. Mary’s Mountaineers this past Saturday was not a total blowout, but with Morgan State falling 74-60 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one.
Meanwhile, it was a close one, but last week Wisconsin sidestepped the Nicholls State Colonels for a 71-68 victory. The overall outcome was to be expected, but Nicholls State made it more of a game than the oddsmakers had predicted. Guard Brad Davison (19 points) was the top scorer for Wisconsin.
The Bears are now 4-7 while the Badgers sit at 9-2. Two stats to keep an eye on: Morgan State ranks second in college basketball when it comes to takeaways, with 21.5 on average. But Wisconsin enters the matchup with only 8.5 turnovers per game on average, good for fourth best in college basketball. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
