Pick
I’m sticking with Morgan State here. Maryland-Eastern Shore’s been on a nice run to sit atop the MEAC standings, but this has been a matchup dominated by the home team in past seasons and I think that in a near coin-flip scenario, home court ends up being the difference here. I’ll back Morgan State at home here.
