What to Know

The Coppin State Eagles are staying on the road Saturday to face off against the East Carolina Pirates at 1 p.m. ET Nov. 27 at Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

It looks like the Eagles got the smaller half of the wishbone at Thanksgiving dinner. They were just a bucket shy of a win on Wednesday and fell 76-75 to the Canisius Golden Griffins.

Meanwhile, East Carolina came up short against the Davidson Wildcats on Sunday, falling 76-67. Guard Tristen Newton did his best for East Carolina, finishing with 28 points (a whopping 42% of their total) and five dimes along with five boards.

Coppin State is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. They are currently seven-for-seven against the spread in their most recent games, however, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

Coppin State beat East Carolina 85-75 when the teams previously met two seasons ago. Will the Eagles repeat their success, or do the Pirates have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
