MSU head coach Todd Bozeman and the Bears had first signature win Wednesday against Atlantic Coast Conference power Maryland.No let down for Morgan State
Baltimore, MD - Rogers Barnes knew it was going to be a good afternoon when he scored Morgan State's first 16points yesterday against North Carolina A&T, topping his previous career high of 13 in the game's opening 13 minutes. Barnes finished with 24 points, Reggie Holmes added 26 and the Bears were never threatened in the 73-62 victory in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference matchup. After Wednesday's historic win over Maryland, Morgan State kept its momentum by dominating both ends of the floor.
"I felt like I had to come out aggressive because it was a conference game," Barnes said. "I'm a senior and a captain, so I had to show my team what we had to do. Every [shot] that left my hand felt good. I was just looking for my shot." Morgan State (7-8, 2-0 MEAC) trailed only once, 5-3 in the opening minutes, and a late three-pointer by Holmes and a layup by Rico Myles gave the Bears a 39-29 lead at halftime. The Aggies' defense has also been solid, limiting opponents to 39.5 percent shooting from the field, but it wasn't quick enough on the perimeter to stop Morgan State's hot shooters. The Bears shot 47.2 percent in the game
