Coppin State vs George Mason Preview

Coppin State (0-6, 0-5 on Road) heads to Fairfax, Virginia to face George Mason (2-3, 2-1 at Home) and we get a chance to bet against the winless Eagles who have lost by 30 to Miami (Florida) in their last game (93-63), by 25 at UMBC (92-67), by 17 at Virginia (62-45), by 11 vs Rider (64-53), and by 42 to High Point (93-51). Despite all of the carnage, Coppin State is still 3-3 ATS, so the oddsmakers are doing their job. In their last game, the Patriots lost at East Carolina in double OT (78-77) after losing vs Central Michigan (70-69), so two consecutive 1-point losses will have this team in a foul mood.

Coppin State Seeking First Win of the Season

Coppin State (3-3-0 ATS, 3-3-0 O/U) was 14-15 ATS last season, so many of the sports gambling metrics make this look like an average team, but the truth is they aren’t very good. The Eagles were 2-27 SU last season (1-17 in MEAC) and have now lost 19 straight games after losing their last 13 last year and the first 6 this season. Coppin state only has one player in double-digits, G Derrius Ward (12.4 ppg, 5.0 rpg) and the team’s other three top scores only average 24.6 ppg combined in F Jonathan Dunn (8.5 ppg, 5.3 rpg), G Julius Ellerbe III (8.5 ppg, 4.5 rpg), and F Khali Hudson (7.6 rpg, 3.2 rpg). When you are winless a week before Thanksgiving, had 1 win in conference last season, and have lost 19 straight, you are the type of team NCAAB bettors like to pick on.

George Mason Rolled by 39 in Previous Meeting

George Mason (2-3 ATS, 3-2-0 O/U) is led by G Darius Maddox (18.4 ppg, 3.2 rpg), F Giovanni Emejuru (10,0 ppg, 6.0 rpg), G Brayden O’Connor (9.8 ppg), and G KD Johnson (6.8 ppg, 3.2 apg) but the Patriots have gone just 4-6 SU/ATS in its last 10 and lost their last 2 games outright as ATS favorites, to ECU (-3.5, 78-77) and to Central Michigan (-14, 70-69). So this team has some things to work on if they have any plans of competing for the conference championship and making the Big Dance.

This Coppin State vs George Mason prediction and free NCAAB pick pick sides with history repeating itself and the Home team winning by around 30 in another big blowout with the eagles losing their 20th straight game overall and trailing by at least 15 at halftime.
