The oddsmakers predicted a rough game for Coppin State and boy were they right. They suffered a painful 81-62 defeat at the hands of the Explorers. Coppin State found out winning isn't easy when you're outrebounded 20 to 4 on offense.

The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Greg Spurlock, who scored 15 points. Another player making a difference was Camaren Sparrrow, who scored 14 points.

We saw a pretty high 166-over/under line set for UMBC's previous match, but the actual score was more down to earth. They managed a 80-76 win over the Pirates on Monday.

The Eagles bumped their record down to 0-7 with that defeat, which was their fifth straight on the road. As for the Retrievers, the victory got them back to even at 4-4.

While only UMBC took care of their fans the last time they played, both teams pleased bettors by covering the spread.

This contest will be Coppin State's eighth straight as the underdogs (so far over this stretch they are 2-5 against the spread).

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Coppin State have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 25.6 rebounds per game. However, it's not like UMBC struggles in that department as they've been even better at 39.2 per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
