BALTIMORE, Maryland -- Morgan State may have enjoyed its bye week, but the program did not get much good news in the race for the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference title.
All four teams at the top of the standings – No. 19 North Carolina A&T, Bethune-Cookman, North Carolina Central and South Carolina State – won over the weekend and stayed ahead of the Bears (3-4 overall and 3-2 in the league). That means that if Morgan State wants to stay in contention and repeat as MEAC champion for the second straight year, the team must record a victory at Bethune-Cookman (7-2, 5-1) this Saturday.
Bears coach Lee Hull is fully aware of the implications of Saturday’s contest.
“Obviously, it’s a must-win for us to have a chance to stay in the hunt and have a chance to win the league or have a share of the title,” he said Tuesday morning during his weekly conference call organized by the MEAC. “This is a [huge] game, but we’re not taking it that way, we’re not putting the pressure on guys. We just want to go out and play our best and see what happens.”
