Shooting woes continue at Morgan State

LMU's post-game press release does the trick for this afternoon's embarrassing loss at Morgan State.

BALTIMORE - Finishing a two-game road swing on the east coast LMU men's basketball looked sluggish from the beginning and they couldn't recover, falling to Morgan State 69-45 at Hill Field House in Baltimore, Md., on Wednesday night.

The Lions shot just 32.1 percent (9-for-28) from the field and committed 11 of their 18 turnovers in the first half to set the tone for their struggles throughout the game. Morgan State, who entered the game one of the lowest three-point shooting teams in the nation, matched a season-high in three-pointers with five in the first half to earn the early cushion.

"We couldn't do anything right," said Head Coach Max Good. "You are going to have games where shots don't fall, but you have to be willing to work at other areas to work through that. We flat out didn't do that tonight."

Lions set to wrap up road trip at Morgan State

The Lions (6-5) will battle Morgan State (1-7) tomorrow at 4 p.m. PT. This is the Lion's final Division I opponent before they begin West Coast Conference play at San Francisco on Dec. 31.

Morgan State has only one win on the season, with it coming in the team's last game one week ago against UMBC. The Bears have played a tough schedule, however, losing to teams such as No. 15 Xavier, UNLV and USC. The team also has three loses by give points or less.

LMU is coming off of a double-digit loss to Florida State on Sunday, and will be looking to turn things around offensively after an awful shooting game down in Florida. The Lions will also look to do a better job rebounding the ball, and must do so against 7'2" Ian Chiles as well as 6'9" Kevin Thompson, who is averaging almost 16 points and nine rebounds per game.

The Lions will again be without Drew Viney and Ashley Hamilton.

Following the game, LMU will wrap up its non-conference season against Vanguard on Dec. 27 in Gersten Pavilion. Tomorrow's game can be heard live on lmulions.com.
