Michael Murray returns to Coppin State basketball, but coach Fang Mitchell says senior has work to do

BALTIMORE, Maryland  -- The Coppin State men’s basketball team dropped a pair of decisions to national powerhouses over Thanksgiving weekend, but there was at least one positive.

Senior forward Michael Murray returned from a broken right (shooting) hand and made his season debut in Friday’s 87-45 loss to No. 22 Michigan. He scored four points on 1-for-8 shooting, including 0-for-5 from the 3-point arc, and grabbed four rebounds in 23 minutes.

Murray made his first start in Sunday’s 86-51 loss to then-No. 11 Gonzaga and had eight points on 4-for-13 shooting and three rebounds in 33 minutes.

Eagles head coach Fang Mitchell said Murray showed some rust from being unable to practice because of a cast on his hand that kept him out of the first four games of the year.
