Coppin State @ Drexel
Current Records: Coppin State 1-13; Drexel 4-5
What to Know
The Drexel Dragons will be returning home after a two-game road trip. They will take on the Coppin State Eagles at 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday at John A Daskalakis Center. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
Drexel received a tough blow this past Saturday as they fell 73-56 to the Abilene Christian Wildcats.
Meanwhile, the game between Coppin State and the Towson Tigers this past Saturday was not a total blowout, but with the Eagles falling 89-75 at home, it was darn close to turning into one.
The Dragons are the favorite in this one, with an expected 12-point margin of victory. Those burned by picking them against the spread this past Saturday might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.
Drexel is now 4-5 while Coppin State sits at 1-13. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Drexel has allowed their opponents to shoot 46% from the floor on average, which is the 32nd highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. The Eagles have experienced some struggles of their own as they have only been able to knock down 37.40% percent of their shots, which is the lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
