Preview: Longwood Lancers at Morgan State Bears BALTIMORE (Interstat) — Two teams seeking momentum will meet Saturday when the Longwood Lancers visit the Morgan State Bears at Hill Field House. Longwood (5-5) enters off a dominant 101-55 victory over Pfeiffer on Wednesday. The Lancers have shown a split personality this season, with a 4-1 record at home but a 1-4 mark in true road games. Their last road contest was a 92-66 loss at American on Nov. 30. Morgan State (1-6) looks to snap a six-game skid. The Bears’ lone win came against non-Division I Central Penn on Nov. 6. They last played on Nov. 25, falling 71-66 to Drexel despite a career-high 25 points from guard Alfred Worrell. A key matchup will feature Longwood forward Elijah Tucker against Morgan State’s Worrell. Tucker is coming off a season-best 24-point performance in just 22 minutes against Pfeiffer, showcasing efficient scoring. For the Bears, Worrell has emerged as a primary offensive option, averaging 14.3 points over his last four games and scoring in double figures in five straight. Longwood’s offense runs through multiple contributors. Alongside Tucker, Alphonzo Billups (14 points, six assists vs. Pfeiffer) and Jacoi Hutchinson (15 points) provide balance. Morgan State will rely heavily on Worrell and guard Elijah Davis, who dished seven assists in the loss to Drexel. Defensive consistency will be critical for the Bears, who have allowed an average of 81.7 points during their losing streak. Longwood, which averages 78.2 points per game, will test that defense, particularly if Tucker continues his recent efficient form. This non-conference matchup represents a final tune-up for both before demanding stretches. Longwood faces a road game at Wake Forest next week, while Morgan State begins a three-game West Coast trip at DePaul on Tuesday. Saturday’s game is scheduled for a 4 p.m. EST tip-off at Hill Field House in Baltimore.
