Matchup Breakdown

Morgan State Outlook

Morgan State averages 66 points per game, with Alfred Worrell Jr. and Rob Lawson providing scoring depth. Their free-throw production (84th nationally) highlights efficiency, though their 2-10 record and 0-6 road mark underscore inconsistency. Worrell’s shooting and Lawson’s playmaking provide stability.

Loyola Marymount Outlook

Loyola Marymount averages 78.8 points per game with Myron Amey Jr. and Jalen Shelley leading the offense. Their shooting efficiency (47.2% FG, 107th nationally) and perimeter accuracy (36.9% 3PT, 73rd nationally) highlight offensive strength. Their 8-4 record and 6-4 home mark underscore betting confidence heading into WCC play.

Key Matchup / Path to Victory

The game hinges on Loyola Marymount’s ability to maintain offensive rhythm, while Morgan State must lean on Worrell and Lawson to pace the offense. If Loyola Marymount controls tempo and boards, their depth should create separation.
