The loss overshadowed another scintillating performance by Delaware State senior guard Myles Carter, who led all players with a career-high 32 points in his final Memorial Hall appearance.

The Hornets responded by outscoring the Bears 23-3 over the next four-and-a-half minutes, and pulled to within 54-52 on a steal and layup by Carter at the 9:13 mark of the second half.

But Morgan State rebounded to score 16 of the next 23 points over the next five minutes, and opened up a 70-59 lead. Delaware State got no closer than seven points the rest of the way.

Senior Dominik Fragala came off the bench to tally 13 points..
