Opening Tip: The Maroon Tigers look to rebound after last Wednesday's 69-63 loss to in-state rival University of North Georgia Nighthawks. With this loss, the Maroon Tigers fall to 2-2 after starting the season 2-1. On Wednesday, November 26th, the Maroon Tigers have the chance to get back above .500 and increase their record to 3-2 with a win against the University of West Georgia Wolves in Atlanta, GA on the campus of Morehouse College in Forbes Arena. Tip-off is set for 7P.M.
 
Scouting MHC: Morehouse enters the game with a 2-2 record after last Wednesday's loss to the University of Northern Georgia that saw sophomore guard Malik Kennedy (Toronto Ontario, Canada) score a game-high 17 points, shooting 7-13 from the field. Senior guard Michael Olmert (Atlanta, Georgia) scored 10 points to go along with nine assists and seven rebounds. Freshman forward Kevin Powell (Newnan, GA) added another 6 points and tied for the team high in rebounds with eight.
 
Scouting UWG: The Wolves struggled to start to the season, falling to a 1-5 record with Saturday's 96-83 overtime loss to the University of Albama Huntsville. Junior forward Kovi Tate (McDonough, GA) had 20 points, shooting 9-13 from the field to go along with four rebounds. Junior forward Seth Brown-Carter (McDonough, GA) helped carry the offensive load with 19 points and eight rebounds. Junior guard Oronte' Anderson (Savannah,GA)  contributed 17 points, shooting 4-11 from three-point-range and 6-15 from the field.

Kennedy's Scoring Streak: In the past two games, Kennedy has led the Maroon Tiger's team in scoring. Kennedy had 17 points in last week's game against Northern Georgia and 14 points against Winston Salem State.
