Morehead State Loses at Home to Tennessee State

Turnovers and foul trouble didn’t help Morehead State last night as they  lost to the worst team in the OVC at home.

Here is a quick recap from MSUEagles.com:

MOREHEAD, Ky. — Senior Patrick Miller knocked down a three-pointer with 2.4 seconds left to lift the Tennessee State men’s basketball team to a 70-68 Ohio Valley Conference victory over Morehead State on Thursday evening at Johnson Arena.

Miller, the league’s leading scorer, finished with a career-high 38 points on 12-of-19 from the field, 4-of-5 from three-point range and 10-of-11 from the free-throw line. The Tigers improve to 5-24 overall, 4-11 in the league and 2-12 on the road.

“Give credit to Tennessee State,” Head Coach Sean Woods said. “(Patrick) Miller is a terrific player. He’s going to be a pro some day. He’s certainly one of the best players in our league and showed it both times we faced him this season.”

The Eagles slip to 19-11 overall, 10-5 in the OVC and 9-4 at home. The squads end up splitting the regular-season series after Morehead State scored an overtime win on Jan. 25 in Nashville. MSU continues to hold a 33-30 edge in the all-time series.
