SETTING THE STAGE
• The Bears (1-0) opened the 2026-27 campaign in impressive fashion Monday night, defeating Cheyney University, 103-52, at Hill Field House. Morgan State showcased its offensive depth and defensive intensity, setting an early tone for the season with a commanding 51-point victory.
• Head coach Kevin Broadus and the Bears will look to carry that momentum into Wednesday's contest against the Dragons, who enter the matchup following a 115-83 season-opening loss at Virginia Military Institute on Monday.
• Reigning MEAC Coach of the Year Kevin Broadus will lead the Bears into the upcoming season, with All-MEAC guard Alfred Worrell Jr. and newcomer point guard Keith Richard named to the conference's Preseason Watch List.
• Alfred Worrell Jr. emerged as Morgan State's leading scorer during the 2025-26 season, averaging 17.4 points and 3.8 rebounds in 30 games, including 26 starts. He scored in double figures 23 times, with 13 performances of 20 or more points. Worrell shot 38.8% from the field, 36.3% from three-point range and a MEAC-best 88.5% from the free-throw line. He ranked fourth in the conference in scoring and second in three-point shooting percentage. He earned All-MEAC recognition and BOXTOROW All-American honors last season. He was also selected to the 2026 Black College Sports Page "Baad Team."
• Keith Richard, a 6-foot guard from Dallas, Texas, joins Morgan State from South Plains College, where he started 19 of 27 games. He averaged 10.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 25.5 minutes per game, shooting 41 percent from the field and 39 percent from three-point range. His addition provides the Bears with another backcourt option heading into a demanding 2026-27 campaign.
• Morgan State's biggest challenge is replacing the production and leadership of All-MEAC performer Elijah Davis, along with guards Rob Lawson and Walter Peggs Jr. The trio was instrumental in Morgan State's run to second place in the MEAC standings. Davis was one of the conference's top point guards, averaging 13.8 points, 5.9 assists, and 3.3 rebounds per game.
• The Bears will also compete in the inaugural 410 Invitational powered by Under Armour, a planned multi-year event featuring men's and women's basketball teams from Morgan State, UMBC, Towson, and Loyola. The men's competition begins Nov. 12, when Morgan State travels to UMBC.
