Coppin State vs NC State Prediction 

Coppin State comes into this matchup looking for their first win of the season, but they are shooting just 35.2% from the field and scoring 54.6 points per game. NC State will have the home-court advantage here and they were able to snap their losing streak with an overtime win against FSU last time out. The Wolfpack are obviously the better team, but I don’t know how motivated they are going to be to run up the score here. I don’t like these large spreads, but I will take Coppin State and the points.
