The Eagles opened the season on an ugly losing skid. The first six games were all defeats thanks to Maryland, La Salle, James Madison, South Florida, Central Michigan and South Alabama in succession.

Coppin State vs West Virginia Prediction
I’ll stick with West Virginia I suppose. The Mountaineers should be able to take care of business here; they certainly did in the Mercyhurst win. WVU notched 47.3 percent from the field with a 41-23 rebounding advantage and 15 team assists in that one, but also missed seven of their 20 free throw attempts (65 percent) and hit just 5-of-18 (27.8 percent) from outside. Still, the game was little more than a formality and lots of different players got minutes in the blowout. West Virginia isn’t the highest-scoring team in the world this year, though; they’ve been below 72 points in six of their eight games, and below 74 in seven of eight.
As for Coppin State, they could only muster 17 rebounds alongside 13 turnovers in their loss to Loyola Maryland. The Eagles have given up 95 or more points in two of the last three games, so WVU should have plenty of scoring opportunities here—if they can take advantage.
