NCAA Blogging -- Morgan/West Virginia halftime thoughts

1:15 p.m. -- So after Morgan State started the game on a 10-0 run, West Virginia outscored them 38-17 the rest of the half. Not a good sign. The Bears needed to slow this game down, and they got caught in transition too many times. (Part of that is missing shots though.) For the second straight year, Holmes did not start the game on fire, blowing my pre-game analysis out of the water. For the Bears to get back in this game, they need him to start hitting, but they also have to keep getting the ball to Dewayne Jackson, who is one of the few players out there who can shoot and doesn't seem intimidated. But to look at is realistically, West Virginia just rebounds the ball too well for Morgan to get back in this. They were one of the worst teams offensively in the Big East this year, but they kill you on the boards and wear you down. 

As Omar Little might say, you come at the king, you best not miss. And Morgan State started to miss midway through the first half.

KVV....i'm doing the same thing your doing...watching the tourney, eating chips and getting paid for it (vacation day).

Morgan is not a bad looking team. If the PG for Margain hadn't turned the ball over so much, this would be a game. For david to beat goliath, he needs to limit the turnovers...keep to a minimum.
