Guard hits 7 to tie school record; Bears win 8th straight

Morgan State guard Reggie Holmes took an aggressive approach in trying to break a recent shooting slump. The sophomore began taking 300 shots on his own after practice the past several days while searching for his outside touch.

Morgan State (15-8, 10-1) extended its winning streak to eight games and remained in first place in the MEAC.
