Howard vs Coppin State Prediction 2/24/25 College Basketball Picks

The Howard Bison and Coppin State Eagles meet on Monday in college basketball action at Physical Education Complex. Here’s a Howard vs Coppin State Prediction. This article will include a Howard vs Coppin State Pick.

Howard Bison Betting Preview

The Howard Bison (12-15, 11-12 ATS) are going through their best period of the season; they won four of the previous five games. Howard beat NC Central, MD Eastern Shore (twice), and Morgan State during that stretch, while the lone loss came by the hands of Delaware State. It was a nice change of scenario for the Bison, who were on a five-game losing streak before this positive run of results. Howard is now 3rd in the MEAC standings, tied with SC State and two wins behind Norfolk State. The Bison will most likely finish the regular season as one of the top three teams in the conference.

Howard averages 78.6 PPG (73rd) and allows 79.4 PPG (342nd). The Bison are 333rd in rebounds (33.4) and 33rd in assists (16.8). Blake Harper leads the team with 19.6 PPG, along with a team-high 6.5 RPG, 3.6 APG, and 1.0 SPG. Marcus Dockery follows him with 16.9 PPG, 2.6 RPG, 2.1 APG, and 1.0 SPG, while Cameron Shockley-Okeke has 11.7 PPG and 3.0 RPG.

Coppin State Eagles Betting Preview

The Coppin State Eagles (4-21, 10-14 ATS) recorded their fourth win of the campaign with a 62-57 W over MD Eastern Shore, but then returned to losing ways. The Eagles lost to NC Central, SC State, and Norfolk State, and will most probably suffer the fourth consecutive defeat when they host Howard on Monday. One positive is that Coppin State isn’t at the very bottom of the MEAC; the Eagles are 7th with a couple of wins ahead of MD Eastern Shore, the only winless team in the conference play.

Coppin State is averaging 60.5 PPG (439th) and is allowing 77.3 PPG (318th). The Eagles are getting 30.9 RPG (423rd) and dish out 10.8 APG (421st). Derrius Ward is the team’s top scorer with 14.7 PPG, 5.3 RPG, and 1.2 SPG. Toby Nnadozie adds 11.8 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 2.3 APG, and a team-high 2.5 SPG, while Jonathan Dunn contributes 10.5 PPG and 4.7 RPG.

Howard vs Coppin State Prediction

Howard was victorious in each of the past five H2H duels, including the one this season when the Bison secured a 90-75 home victory and covered the spread along the way. Howard was also better in the last two H2Hs at Coppin State, and considering the current form of these teams, I am quite confident the Bison will secure the sixth consecutive victory over the Eagles. Coppin State has only covered the spread in 13 of its last 30 games. In each of the aforementioned five wins over Coppin State, Howard won by nine or more points, and we need the visitors to win by at least nine once more to cover the spread. Back them to do it.
