The Coppin State Eagles and the UCONN Huskies meet in college basketball action from the XL Center on Saturday afternoon.
The Coppin State Eagles will look to pick up an upset after their third straight loss of the season after an 81-69 loss to Rider last time out. Heading into the matchup with Rider, Jesse Zarzuela leads the Eagles in scoring with 16.5 PPG while Mike Hood has 12.5 PPG as the second Eagle to average double figures scoring on the year. Nendah Tarke has 9 PPG and a team-high 4.5 RPG and Daniel Titus has a team-high 2 APG this season. As a team, Coppin State is averaging 58.5 PPG on 31.9% shooting from the field, 2.7% from three and 78.9% from the foul line while allowing 100 PPG on 50% shooting from the field and 38.2% from three on the year.
The UCONN Huskies will look to build off of their season-opening 99-48 win over Central Connecticut last time out. Adama Sanogo led the Huskies with 20 points on 9 of 11 shooting with 5 rebounds and 3 blocks while R.J. Cole added 15 points on 5 of 6 shooting with 3 threes and Tyrese Martin added 14 points on 6 of 9 shooting with a pair of steals. Tyler Polley chipped in 11 points with a pair of steals while Jalen Gaffney contributed 10 points to finish off the scoring in double figures for the Huskies in the win. Akok Akok added 8 points with 3 blocks and a team-high 7 rebounds as well in the win for UCONN. As a team, the Huskies shot 61.3% from the field, 61.5% from three and 78.9% from the foul line this season.
Coppin State is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record and 17-7-1 ATS in their last 25 road games against a team with a winning home record while the over is 9-2 in their last 11 road games. UCONN is 20-7-1 ATS in their last 28 games overall and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games while the over is 7-2 in their last 9 Saturday games.
The Eagles have been terrible for the early part of the season, and this will already be their fourth game of the season. However, I’m not overly thrilled about this year’s edition of the Huskies and we saw Coppin State give themselves a chance against Rider on Friday. Give me Coppin State and the truckload of points in this one.
