South Carolina State Team Preview
I’m on Coppin State here. Not saying that South Carolina State can’t win this game, I just think if they do, it’s going to be somewhat close. Coppin State has had a tendency to hang around in a lot of the conference games that they’ve played up to this point and I think it’s the same situation here against a South Carolina team that doesn’t have a ton of top-tier scoring depth. Give me Coppin State and the points here.
