MOREHEAD, Ky. — Morehead State head coach Preston Spradlin prefers his team not be labeled as a potential Cinderella team in this year’s NCAA Tournament. No, he prefers if a “slipper” fits that it be more of a work boot. The Eagles’ hard work has gotten them into their first NCAA Tournament since 2011, with the 14th-seeded Eagles facing third-seeded West Virginia in the Midwest Region Friday at 9:50 p.m. ET.
MSU and WVU will battle in Lucas Oil Stadium, the site of the Final Four. The game will take place on the south court.
The game can be seen on TruTV as well as on the March Madness app. It will be broadcast locally with Chuck Mraz and Tom Lewis on the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety Eagle Sports Radio Network on WIVY-96.3 FM and also on WKYN-107.7 FM. It will also be live nationally on Westwood One Radio (Sirius channel 135 or XM channel 202).
LAST TIME AGAINST WEST VIRGINIA (Full Recap)
West Virginia raced out to a 19-point advantage less than 12 minutes into a Nov. 22, 2011 contest and never looked back in an 83-48 victory over Morehead State before a crowd of 10,122 at the Charleston Civic Center. Senior Terrance Hill was the only Morehead State player to crack double figures. He scored a career-high 24 points on 8-of-16 from the floor, including 6-of-11 from long range.
