Morgan St Bears

The Bears were 4-13 on 12 January 2026 and finished 14-16, going 10-3 from there with nine covers in 12 lined games. Three one-point road wins at plus prices in ten days paid for the season.

Two seasons in one

Up to 12 January, Morgan State lost 13 of 17 games. Several were long-price road trips, at California, San Francisco, Loyola Marymount and DePaul, all at +1800 or longer. November and December together cost 9.26 units.

From 17 January the Bears went 10-3, covered 9 of 12 spreads, and won six in a row.

Three one-point wins

The turn came on the road, three times by a single point. On 17 January they won 80-79 at Delaware State at +136. On 24 January they won 78-77 at Howard, getting 14.5 points and +850 on the moneyline. Three days later they won 79-78 at Norfolk State at +320. January finished 6-2 and 12.28 units up.

That is why one unit on the 13 priced road games made 6.51 units, a road figure only 27 Division I teams beat, and why the full-season moneyline, 26 priced games, closed 3.96 ahead.

Favorites and the home floor

Favored seven times, the Bears won six and covered five, and those seven favorite moneylines made 2.59 units. At home they covered 8 of 12 lined games, though the home moneyline still lost 1.55 units.

Overs

Sixteen overs and 11 unders. Only 38 Division I teams went over more often. Opponents scored 78.23 points a game against them, and from 17 January on, ten of the 12 games with a total went over it.

Delaware State

Delaware State was met three times: two Morgan State wins and covers, then a 75-70 loss as a -155 favorite in the MEAC quarterfinal that ended the season. Norfolk State lost both meetings, worth 4.56 units.
