The Coppin State Eagles are 11-20 on the year and 7-9 in conference play, following a 3 point win against the Maryland-Eastern Shore Hawks. The Norfolk State Spartans are coming into this game off of a 6 point win against the Morgan State Bears, making them 16-15 on the year and 12-4 in conference play.

The Coppin State Eagles enter this matchup averaging 68.0 points per game and also allow 74.1 points per game. The Eagles are led by junior guard, Koby Thomas. Thomas is leading Coppin State in scoring, averaging 13.3 points per game. The Eagles will need Thomas to play great if they want to keep this game close.

The Norfolk State Spartans are averaging 70.5 points per game and also allow 64.9 points per game. The Spartans are led by senior guard, Jermaine Bishop. Bishop is leading Norfolk State in scoring, averaging 15.6 points per game. Bishop will be looking to eclipse the 20 point mark for his fourth straight game in this one.

In this matchup I like the Norfolk State Spartans to win and cover the spread. The Spartans have a senior guard that is starting to pick up his game at the right time. Bishop has been scoring like crazy and will have enough experience to lead Norfolk in this postseason matchup. The Coppin State Eagles are also just 2-5 ATS their last 7 games. Final score prediction, the Norfolk State Spartans will win and cover the spread 74-63.
