Despite the comfortable margin, head coach Kevin Broadus emphasized the need for better execution and more consistent team basketball as the schedule becomes more demanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morgan now turns its attention to its first road game, visiting Niagara on Saturday, November 7, with tipoff scheduled for 6:30 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final: Morgan State 95, Virginia University of Lynchburg 58<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
