What to Know

The Coppin State Eagles and the South Carolina State Bulldogs will face off in an MEAC clash at 4 p.m. ET Feb. 11 at Smith-Hammond-Middleton Center. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

The Eagles were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap last week as they fell 71-66 to the Delaware State Hornets.

Meanwhile, South Carolina State has to be aching after a bruising 100-74 loss to the Howard Bison last Monday.

Coppin State is expected to lose this next one by 3.5. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the squad has let down bettors in their past six games.

The losses put Coppin State at 6-18 and South Carolina State at 3-20. A couple defensive stats to keep an eye on: Coppin State is 362nd worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 85.5 on average. The Bulldogs have experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the matchup with the 363rd most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 85.8 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
