DONS AT A GLANCE:

• USF bounced back in its last time on the hardwood, notching a 14-point win over Loyola Chicago, 85-71, at Chase Center in San Francisco on Wednesday night. Spearheading the offense, Tyrone Riley IV finished with a season-high 22 points and a career-high six made three-pointers, while David Fuchs returned from injury to finish with a career-high 20 points, including 10-of-14 from the free throw line. Notably, Riley IV's six triples were the most by a Don since Ndewedo Newbury shot 6-of-10 from beyond the arc in a 96-69 win at home over Portland on Jan 13, 2024.
• After shooting 52.9 percent (27-51) in the win over Loyola Chicago, San Francisco is now 26-0 under head coach Chris Gerlufsen when shooting 50 percent or over from the field. As a team, USF knocked down 13 shots from beyond the arc (13-27/48.1 percent), marking a new season-high in three-pointers made. The Dons also turned the ball over only four times against the Ramblers, a new season-low.
• Fuchs has been a force on the glass so far this season, coming into the contest tied for fifth in the West Coast Conference (WCC) in rebounds per game (6.7) despite missing three games due to injury. He is also tied for fifth in the conference in defensive rebounds per game (4.9). Additionally, Mookie Cook is just outside of the top ten in total rebounds, currently ranking eleventh in the WCC with 68 total boards.
• San Francisco has won its final game of nonconference play in three straight seasons, gaining momentum heading into league play. Last year, USF took down Montana, 71-67, on Dec. 21, a team that would go on to win the Big Sky Tournament and qualify for the NCAA Tournament.

SCOUTING THE BEARS:

• In the midst of a West Coast road trip before the holiday break, Morgan State most recently fell at California, 97-50, on Friday, Dec. 19. Despite the loss, Christian Oliver (14 points) and Rob Lawson (11 points) finished in double figures for the Bears, with Lawson also adding a team-high eight assists.
• Following its matchup with San Francisco on Sunday afternoon, Morgan State will head south for a road game at LMU on Tuesday, Dec. 23, at 6:00 pm PT.
• Alfred Worrell Jr., who appeared in 32 games averaging 6.5 points and 1.6 rebounds as a junior at Southern Mississippi last season, enters Sunday's contest as the leading scorer for the Bears, averaging 14.2 points per game. Alongside Worrell Jr., Lawson and Elijah Davis (Bowie State transfer) both average double figures at 13.3 points per game.
• Christian Meeks, who has started in eight of the eleven games he has appeared in for Morgan State, is the team's leading rebounder with an average of 5.0 rebounds per game and 55 total boards.

SERIES HISTORY:

• Sunday will mark the third meeting all-time between San Francisco and Morgan State, with the Dons holding a 2-0 record over the Bears in the all-time series. Most recently, USF defeated Morgan State, 83-67, at home on the Hilltop on Nov. 22, 2021. The green and gold were also victorious in the first-ever matchup between the two programs, securing an 87-74 home win over the Bears on Jan. 3, 2012.
