Morgan State men's basketball off to 2-0 start in MEAC for first time in three years

BALTIMORE, Maryland  -- The Morgan State men's basketball team is off to a 2-0 start in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference for the first time since the 2010-11 season, courtesy of Saturday’s 73-56 rout of South Carolina State.

“[The wins] all are important, particularly in the conference,” Bears coach Todd Bozeman said Thursday morning. “It’s important to get off to a good start. We hadn’t won our first two conference games in probably a couple years. So this was good. It was good for us to get back on the winning track, and it’s important for us to stay focused and keep getting better. That’s pretty much our goal.”

Back-to-back wins to open the league have usually been a good omen for the Bears (4-10 overall). Since Bozeman took over the program prior to the 2006-07 campaign, Morgan State has parlayed a 2-0 start in the MEAC to an appearance in the conference tournament final four times, winning the championship in 2008-09 and 2009-10.
