Morgan Bears too hot to handle by Coppin

Coppin puts up a fight, but Morgan stays unbeaten at home

With the school's first regular-season title and the No. 1 seed in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference tournament locked up, Morgan State coach Todd Bozeman could have been forgiven if he wanted to give his starters a breather last night. But when the opponent is Coppin State, and with city bragging rights on the line, the Forestville native knew that taking this game lightly was not an option.

Despite being without leading scorer Jamar Smith (foot injury), the Bears took the Eagles' best shots and still came away with a hard-fought 68-64 victory on Senior Night before an announced 4,500 last night at Hill Field House.

Never under-estimate at team coached by ole school Fang Mitchell. Just throw out the records and get ready to do battle, as his teams will scratch and claw their way into the game and beat you if you make mistakes. Whoever draws Coppin State in the MEAC Tournament is in for a dog fight (sorry, Vick) to get to the next round.

This is going to be a great MEAC Tournament!
