UMBC Retrievers @ Morgan State Bears
Current Records: UMBC 5-5, Morgan State 2-8
The UMBC Retrievers will head out on the road to face off against the Morgan State Bears at 6:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Hill Field House. Coming in fresh off a win as the underdog, UMBC will stroll into this one as the favorite.
The oddsmakers set the bar high, but UMBC and Lehigh didn’t disappoint and broke past the 164.5 point over/under on Saturday. The Retrievers came out on top against the Mountain Hawks by a score of 92-87. The victory was just what UMBC needed coming off of a 89-70 loss in their prior contest.
Meanwhile, Morgan State’s recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Sunday after their seventh straight loss. It’s going to take some time for them to recover from the 88-54 bruising that the Lancers dished out on Sunday. Morgan State found out winning isn’t easy when you’re outrebounded 16 to 5 on offense.
The losses dropped the Retrievers to 5-5 and the Mountain Hawks to 1-7.
This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: UMBC have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 37.7 rebounds per game. However, it’s not like Morgan State struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 34.2 per game. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out. Check CBS Sports after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other NCAA Basketball content.
UMBC was able to grind out a solid victory over Morgan State in their previous matchup back in December of 2022, winning 75-63. The rematch might be a little tougher for UMBC since the squad won’t have the home-court advantage this time around. We’ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
UMBC is a 3.5-point favorite against Morgan State, according to the latest college basketball odds.
The oddsmakers were right in line with the betting community on this one, as the game opened as a 3.5-point spread, and stayed right there.
The oddsmakers are expecting fireworks from the offense and set the over/under at a high 167 points.
