BALTIMORE, Md. (March 5, 2021) – The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference announced all-conference selections on Friday and three Morgan State University men's basketball players made the cut.
 
Morgan's Troy Baxter, De'Torrion Ware and Malik Miller each made All-MEAC teams. Baxter was selected to the First Team, while Ware and Miller were Second Team selections. Baxter and Miller were also named to the All-Defensive team.
 
Baxter led the Bears in scoring with 287 points and blocks with 25. His 16.9 points per game led the conference, while his 1.5 blocks are third best. He also averaged 4.7 rebounds (ranked No. 15) and shot 44.7 percent (101-226; No. 11) from the field and 34.4 percent from 3-point territory (No. 12).
 
Starting 15 of 17 games played, Baxter scored 20 or more points in six contests and posted double-figures in 15 games. He scored a season-high 28 points with seven rebounds in an 79-76 win at Coppin State (Jan. 30).

In two seasons at Morgan, Baxter has accumulated 572 points, 234 rebounds, 83 blocks, 44 assists, and 21 steals,  in 47 appearances. 
 
Ware is second on the team in scoring with 250 points and rebounding with 85 (5.0 avg; T-No. 13). He ranks among the league leaders in three-point field goals made with 37 (No. 3) and his .381 three-point field goal percentage ranks ninth. 
 
Ware has played in 17 games and scored 20 or more points in seven games. He scored double figures in 9-of-17 games, including a 36-point outing vs. Delaware State (Jan. 24) and a 30-point and 10-rebound performance at Norfolk State on Jan. 10.
 
Miller is Morgan's third leading scorer, averaging 12.9 points per game. Miller ranked among the league leaders in a number of categories: 8.4 rebounds (No. 2), 2.1 steals (No. 3) and ranks No. 3 in the league shooting 53.5 percent from the field. He has also recorded 37 assists and is shooting 33.3 percent from beyond the arc and 73.3 percent from the free throw line.
 
Miller recorded six double-double (points & rebounds), including a 30-point performance against Coppin State on Jan. 17. He has been named twice as the MEAC Defensive Player of the Week (Dec. 22 & Feb. 9), and was selected MEAC Player of the Week (Jan. 19). 
 
The All-MEAC teams are selected by the conference's head basketball coaches and sports information directors.

Morgan State returns to the hardwood for its final regular season slate of games when they travel to Dover, Delaware to take on Delaware State. The two teams will first meet today (Friday) at 1 p.m., before playing again on Saturday, with tip-off scheduled for 5 p.m. No fans will be allowed in Memorial Hall.

The Bears are currently third in the MEAC North standings at 6-4. Norfolk State and Coppin State are tied for first in the division at 8-4. The Bears need wins over Delaware State in the next two days to create a three-way tie atop the standings.

The 2020-21 regular-season divisional champions, first team honorees and other award winners, including Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and Coach of the Year, will be recognized in pre-game presentations prior to the honorees' first games in tournament play.
 
Tournament play begins Thursday, March 11, and runs through Saturday, March 13, at the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Va.
