The Bulldogs average 64.8 points per game, with Jayden Johnson and James Morrow leading the offense. Johnson’s 23 points vs Morgan State highlighted his scoring ability, while Morrow’s rebounding added balance. Their three-point shooting (33.3%) underscores perimeter potential. Their 0-13 road record shows struggles, though recent close losses highlight competitiveness. Johnson’s 39.6% shooting from beyond the arc remains their best chance to compete.

Coppin State Outlook

The Eagles average 64.3 points per game, with Jamari Piercy, Khali Horton, and Taj Thweatt providing scoring depth. Piercy’s 19 points vs North Carolina Central highlighted his consistency, while Horton’s 15 points and 5 rebounds added balance. Their 1-3 home record underscores moderate strength at the Physical Education Complex, with free-throw shooting and assists providing situational advantages. Their 3-16 overall record shows inconsistency, though individual performances provide sparks.

Key Matchup / Path to Victory

The game hinges on South Carolina State’s ability to maintain offensive rhythm through Johnson, while Coppin State must lean on Piercy and Horton to pace the attack. If Coppin State controls tempo and rebounding, their depth should create separation. South Carolina State’s hopes rest on perimeter shooting and resilience to keep the game close.
