Who's Playing
Coppin State @ Charlotte
What to Know
The Charlotte 49ers and the Coppin State Eagles will face off at 6 p.m. ET November 7th at Dale F. Halton Arena to kick off their 2022 seasons. While Charlotte was not exactly top dog last season, they did wrap up the year with a winning record of 17-14. Meanwhile, last year was nothing to brag about for Coppin State (9-23), so the team is looking forward to a new start.
A couple last-season stats to keep an eye on: The 49ers allowed their opponents to shoot an average of 46.10% from the floor, which was the 30th highest shooting percentage allowed (top 92%) in college basketball. Coppin State experienced some struggles of their own as they could only manage to knock down 38.60% of their shots, making them 355th worst (bottom 102%) in college basketball in field goal percentage. So maybe these sore spots will just cancel each other out if things haven't changed too much in the offseason.
Charlotte is the favorite in this one, with an expected 11-point margin of victory. But these early season matchups can go either way as both teams get back into playing shape.
