In this article, we will formulate a Miami vs Coppin State Prediction for this college basketball game on Sunday, November 17th, at the BankUnited Center.
Coppin State Still Looking for First Win
Coppin State is still looking for their first win of the season and they have had some major issues. In the last game against UMBC, Coppin State faced off against UMBC, and the offense scored 67 points, but the defense gave up 92 points, which led to the defeat. Jonathan Dunn did have a strong game, putting up 22 points, but the rest of the offense didn’t find enough success. Two games ago against Virginia, Coppin State scored only 54 points and that offense again wasn’t good enough. In this game, the offense needs to be good, but the defense is going to need to make the stops to give them a chance.
Miami Has Dominated
Miami has played one or two games to start the season and they have dominated each of the games. In the first game against FDU, they were able to secure the 1113-72 victory, and in the last game against Binghamton, they scored 88 points on the way to the victory. In the last game, Miami shot 48.3 percent from the field and 35.3 percent from behind the three-point line. There were four different players that put up at least 10 points. Nijel Pack had a strong game putting up 17 points, six assists, and three rebounds. In this game, for Coppin State to find success, they just can’t overlook this game. Miami will meet Drake, Charleston Southern, Arkansas, Clemson, and Tennessee after this one.

Miami vs Coppin State Prediction
This total is too high. The Hurricanes are going to get their offense, but I am not sold on this Coppin State offense and their offense is going to struggle. Two games ago Coppin State scored only 54 points and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. They also know for a chance to win they need to keep the pace slow, and that will help keep this game under the total.
