Do you remember when your life peaked? Maybe it hasn’t yet, but it’s probably just as likely that it has and you aren’t aware of it yet. If you’re a young(ish) Morgan State basketball fan, it might well have been late in the first decade of this century, when the Bears went 42-6 over three seasons in conference play and made back-to-back NCAA tournaments under Todd Bozeman. That momentum petered out and the program has been trying to recapture anything resembling the same magic since.
Morgan State hired Todd Bozeman - the coach who guided them to their most successful period since they won the D2 national championship in 1974, which is still definitely within the timeframe to be considered pertinent to modern games - off the back of an eight-year show-cause penalty that he received from the NCAA for various improprities while he was the head coach at Cal.
