Current Records: Coppin State 1-5; Virginia 1-2
What to Know
The Coppin State Eagles will take on the Virginia Cavaliers at 7 p.m. ET Friday at John Paul Jones Arena. The Eagles should still be riding high after a big victory, while Virginia will be looking to get back in the win column.
Coppin State made easy work of the Loyola-Maryland Greyhounds on Wednesday and carried off a 71-49 win.
Meanwhile, Virginia has to be aching after a bruising 67-47 loss to the Houston Cougars on Tuesday.
Coppin State have to know they’ll be fighting an uphill battle given the 26.50 point spread they are up against. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on a four-game streak of ATS wins.
Coppin State’s victory brought them up to 1-5 while the Cavaliers’ defeat pulled them down to 1-2. A couple offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Eagles have only been able to knock down 34.10% percent of their shots, which is the 352nd lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. Virginia has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 14th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 59.3 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
