Loyola MD vs Coppin State Prediction

I’ll stick with Loyola I suppose. There’s not a lot of intrigue in this game if you’re not a fan of either team, though. The Greyhounds started slowly against VMI in a much-needed win on Tuesday, eventually shooting a tepid 38.8 percent from the field with a 41-27 rebounding edge. It was the first time Loyola had hit the 70-point mark since way back on November 9.

As for Coppin State, there aren’t too many positives to mention. The Eagles have been below 68 points in all eight games and have only 109 combined points (versus 176 allowed) in their last two games). Coppin State likely won’t get blown out as badly here, but it’s tough trusting them to do much of anything.
