Coppin State vs La Salle Prediction 11/5/2025 Today’s College Basketball Picks

In this article we will formulate a Coppin State vs La Salle prediction for this College Basketball game on Wednesday, November 5th at John Glaser Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this College Basketball matchup.

Coppin State Eagles Betting Preview

The Coppin State Eagles are 0-1 this year after they lost to Maryland by a score of 83-61 in their first game. Coppin State trailed 47-32 at halftime and only managed 29 points in the second half for the lopsided loss. The Eagles shot 42.9% from the field, 36.8% on three pointers, and 75% on free throws in the game. Coppin State lost the rebounding battle by a total of 34-29, recorded 11 assists, and committed 20 turnovers in the loss. Khali Horton led the team with 19 points and two rebounds, while Tyler Koenig added 12 points and two rebounds in the game. 

Coppin State obviously had some trouble offensively in their first game against Maryland, but they also allowed 10 three pointers, 25 free throw attempts and 14 fast break points, so the defense was not very good either. 

La Salle Explorers Betting Preview

The La Salle Explorers went 14-19 (5-13) last year and they finished 13th in the A-10 standings. La Salle opened the season with a 65-52 win over American and they followed that up with an 81-60 win over Lafayette in their second game. The Explorers started the season with a 10-7 record through 17 games, but the season fell apart after that. La Salle finished the season by losing eight of their last nine games, before beating UMass and losing to St. Joseph’s in the A-10 Tournament. La Salle scored 72.0 points per game, which ranked 235th in the country, while they allowed 74.7 points against per game, which ranked 262nd. 

This year, La Salle has to replace their top eight scorers, so this will be virtually a completely different team. The Explorers do return Eric Acker, who averaged 5.2 points and 1.7 assists per game, but they don’t really bring back any other production. 

Why the Coppin State Eagles will win

• La Salle has lost each of its last nine night games against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Coppin State vs La Salle Prediction 

Coppin State started the season with a 22 point loss against Maryland, so they will look to be more competitive in this one. The Eagles only scored 61 points in that loss, but should find more success here. La Salle is playing their first game of the season, but they have a lot of work to do, as they lost just about everyone from last year’s team. The Explorers do play in a much better conference and they should be the more talented team, but I am not excited about backing them until I see how the new team looks. Take Coppin State and the points here.
