Shaquille Duncan led Morgan State with 17 points, while Justin Black and DeWayne Jackson added 16 points apiece. The Wildcats also played strong defense against the MEAC's leading scorer Adrien Coleman, who only scored eight for the Wildcats.
N.C. A&T continued its surprising run through the tournament by defeating the No. 6 Delaware St. Hornets, 84-78, in the second semifinal matchup. The Aggies led for most of the game, but the Hornets kept the game competitive to the final minute.
