DOVER, Del. (Feb. 26, 2022) – The Morgan State men's basketball team flew out of the gates on Saturday, building a 21-point advantage against Delaware State, and were able to hold on 76-69 at Memorial Hall in Dover.

The Bears swept the season series with Delaware State, winning 82-70 inside Hill Field House on January 30. 
 
Malik Miller notched his fifth double-double of the season as he finished the night with a team-high 20 points and 10 rebounds.

Miller connected on 8 for 15 from the field and went 4 for 6 from the stripe to help Morgan improve to 10-13 overall and sit at 5-6 in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Lagio Grantsaan had 16 points and four rebounds, while Sherwyn Devonish added 13 points.
 
After Delaware State (2-23, 0-12) took an 8-2 lead, the Bears ripped off a 22-5 run, during which Miller scored eight points, including a dunk that put his team up 24-13 at the 5:49 mark of the period. They would take a 13-point advantage into the break.
 
The Bears built their largest lead of the night behind a 13-5 run. A putback layup by Grantsaan extended the margin to 46-25 with 16 minutes left to play.
 
The Hornets responded with a 27-8 run and were able to bring it as close as two points, with Morgan's advantage dwindling to 54-52 with 9:13 to go. Myles Carter scored 15 of his game-high 32 points (12-22 FG) during the run.
 
But the Bears quickly responded with an 16-7 run and a pair of free throws by Moore pushed the lead back to double-figures at 70-59 with  62-55 lead with 4 minutes left to go.
 
Morgan made it tough in the backcourt for the Hornets all night. The Bears scored 26 points off of 14 Hornet turnovers and recorded 10 steals.
