2024 Tournament PreviewAfter a two-year break from the NCAA Tournament, Morehead State is back and looking for its first victory since 2011. The Eagles slow the pace and play a half-court game, effective in the paint and on the perimeter. They rank 21st nationally in two-point field-goal percentage and have five players with at least 100 3-point attempts, led by 6-5 senior guards Kalil Thomas (43.5 percent) and Jordan Lathon (38.0 percent). The catalyst is 6-7 senior Riley Minix (20.8 ppg, 9.8 rpg). The Ohio Valley Player of the Year attacks the rim but can also step out for a three (34.0 percent). The Eagles are also strong defensively inside and out, ranking 16th in two-point field-goal percentage and 31st in perimeter defense. Despite a 105 NET rating, however, Morehead State lacks quality wins. Its best win is a Quad 3 victory, and Quad 1 matchups against Alabama and Purdue ended in 30-plus point losses.
