The Coppin State Eagles and the George Washington Colonials meet in college basketball action from the Charles E. Smith Center on Wednesday night.
The Coppin State Eagles come into this one after a 92-77 loss to Cornell in their last game. Jesse Zarzuela leads the Eagles in scoring and assists with 15.4 PPG and 3.3 APG along with 3.6 RPG while Tyree Corbett has 12.7 PPG with a team-high 6.9 RPG to lead the Eagles on the glass. Nendah Tarke has 11.3 PPG with 6.5 RPG to make up the trio of double-digit scorers for Coppin State up to this point in the season. As a team, Coppin State is averaging 64.5 PPG on 36.8% shooting from the field, 28% from three and 71.6% from the foul line while allowing 78.2 PPG on 43.6% shooting from the field and 36.1% from three this season.
The George Washington Colonials will be out to bounce back from an 86-79 loss to Charlotte in their last game. James Bishop leads GW in scoring with 16.3 PPG while Joe Bamisile has 12.5 PPG with 6.3 RPG. Brendan Adams has 10.8 PPG to make up the trio of double-digit scorers for GW so far this season. Ricky Lindo Jr. has 9.6 PPG with a team-high 7.5 RPG while Brayon Freeman has 2.4 APG as well to lead the Colonials so far this season. As a team, George Washington is averaging 63.9 PPG on 40.9% shooting from the field, 28.9% from three and 68.6% from the foul line while allowing 71.3 PPG on 42.4% shooting from the field and 28.6% from three this season.
Coppin State is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 road games and 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall while the under is 5-2 in their last 7 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400. George Washington is 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 home games while the under is 8-1 in their last 9 games following a loss.
I get the case that could be made for GW at home here, but realistically, I haven’t been impressed with the Colonials personally and Coppin State has been a covering machine this season. The only game that Coppin State won this season had a low line and I think the Eagles could get a second win here. Give me the Eagles and the points in this one.
