Bears comeback falls short in loss to Howard

De'Torrion Ware led the Bears with 23 points and 11 rebounds.

BALTIMORE, Md. (Jan. 22, 2022) -- The Morgan State men's basketball team cut a 10-point second half deficit to just one point in the final minute, but could not complete the comeback as Howard exited with a 91-82 win inside Hill Field House Saturday evening.
 
With the loss, Morgan drops to 6-9 overall and 1-2 in Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference play. Howard (7-8, 1-1 MEAC) snapped its three-game slide while earning its first conference win of the season.

Junior guard De'Torrion Ware led the Bears with 23 points (10-10 FT) and 11 rebounds in the loss. It was his third consecutive game recording a double-double, and the sixth of his career.
 
Keith McGee scored 12 of his 18 points (6-13 3FG) in the second half, while Lagio Grantsaan finished with 14 points and a game-high 12 rebounds. Ty Horner chipped in 10 points.
 
Senior guard Sherwyn Devonish made a pair of free throws and gave the Bears an early 10-point advantage, 16-6, but the Bison fought back and took their first lead after a 3-pointer from Elijah Hawkins, 31-30.


 
Both squads went back-and-forth in the waning moments before intermission, but a short baseline jumper from Hawkins put the Bison ahead by three, 46-43.
 
Morgan State recaptured the lead after two free throws from Ty Horner, 58-57, but it was short-lived, thanks to a long ball from Sam Green, 60-58.
 
With less than six minutes left, a layup from Brumant gave HU its largest lead, 78-68, but the Bears refused to go away.
 
MSU went on a 14-4 run, capped by a three-point play from Devonish, 83-82.
 
Howard finished the game on an 8-0 run to knock off the Bears, 91-82.
 
Randall Brumant led the Bison with a season-high 22 points on 10-of-12 shooting. Hawkins ended the night with 20 points, six steals and four assists while Steve Settle, III added 21 points and eight rebounds in the win.
 
Morgan returns to action on Monday (Jan.24) when they head to the Tidewater to face the Norfolk State Spartans. Game time is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. and will be nationally televised by ESPNU.
