This is a scheduling miss.
Morgan State isn't good, finished middle of the MEAC standings, finished 293 in NET last season and have never won an NCAA game.
Nothing wrong with a few creampuffs on the schedule but here is no historical or geographical significance either.

That said, sometimes a scheduling miss can't be avoided and the top of the schedule looks GREAT.
As long as the misses are the exception, say 3 or less it will be an entertaining season from a fan perspective and an improvement on recent scheduling history.

Maybe we can get a private scrimmage with Princeton to prepare.....

I can tell you that it never.. as in NEVER hurts to schedule a game against a bunch of hard nosed, gritty, Inner City, Downtown Baltimore Hoopers. The fundamentals won't be there against our team, but the trash talking will be. The ferocity will be. And if anyone on Arizona wants to retain a shred of manhood, it will be tested by Morgan State and I don't mean on the scoreboard. So while it will be a likely walkover, just know - these are the games that last season we won by 15-20 or whatever, but allowed those types of teams to stick around long enough and have enough of their own moral victories that ultimately contributed to why we were so soft in March and why we are thought of as a soft program as a whole. Also the reason that we were never feared by anyone. Never could get our defense locked in properly in these types of games and wasted many opportunities to get the bench involved which also ultimately led to Tommy refusing to play anyone except 6.5 players.

So as the old saying goes, "Sack Up", because even though we are supposed to win, we aren't supposed to get our "reputation" affected like it did last season.
