UMBC vs Coppin State Prediction
Coppin State has played four games and has looked absolutely terrible. Coppin State has one double-digit scorer and hasn’t scored more than 53 points. You, three of your friends, and myself could probably have better success on the offensive side. It takes talent to be that awful. The UMBC Retrievers are an above-average program given their level, and they’ve been on an offensive tear despite the small sample size. I’ll lay the chalk with UMBC.
