Morgan State vs. Virginia CBB Prediction:
Both teams will look to bounce back from losses as they meet in Charlottesville on Wednesday night.
Take Morgan State here. The Bears played a very good James Madison team tough last game out and have competed in some games where they were just clearly overmatched. UVA is typically not a team that will blow opponents out as they like to play at a slow pace and are not great offensively. If Morgan State can avoid long scoring droughts, they should be able to stay within the big number.
