Coppin St Question

[WinnersCircle]

Was just looking ahead to Coppin St and it looks like they play 3 straight games before Saturday...just me or is that a wild schedule?

I have no idea what you mean here--super unclear what you're getting at. We play Coppin State on Saturday. There are no other games before that.

Then we play on the 13th, 17th, and 24th. We're on a Saturday/Wednesday schedule for a minute.

What they mean is that this will be Coppin State's fourth game in five days.

Money tour.

I watched the first five minutes of their game vs. Loyola Chicago last night. They may be worse than Central. 25 minutes into the game they had one assist. One.

"They," refers to Coppin State.

They play DePaul tonight, Rider on Friday and UConn on Saturday. Thursday is off though. Are they in a tournament?

They play ten games in Nov. Agree with @8893 -- this is how they pay the bills.

Talking about Coppin St

They're going to be exhausted and we're going to absolutely put them through the ringer. It's going to be hell for them.

 

[Waquoit]

Also, this is their first game in Connecticut since coppin' became legal.

Then I can dig it!

Plus if you didn't know their coach is Juan Dixon. Time for some '02 payback.

 

[rollskies]

I just saw someone point out that they have a 7:00PM game on Friday night and then travel to UConn to play at Noon the next day. That’s brutal for them.

Look at Prarie View's schedule (if you think Copin's schedule is crazy):

 

[gtcam]

They do this every year
They would play on Christmas Day if they could earn $1
This is the same team that AB went off for almost 50 pts and they made him look like a 1st team AA

Didn’t read the article so maybe it’s mentioned but they forgot their jerseys and had to use the other team’s practice jerseys yesterday

Yup it's in there.

About UConn...

After an 89–54 loss to UConn to wrap up the season-opening four-games-in-five-days stretch, Agumagu stopped Huskies scheduling coordinator Eric Youngcofski in the postgame handshake line to let him know he’d be calling soon to see about playing again next year.

We must still pay pretty well for buy games.

“I don’t know of many head coaches who are washing their players’ dirty laundry every night,” says Dixon, who jokes that his water bill back home spikes after game nights. Whether the Eagles lose by 58, like they did against Loyola Chicago, or on a buzzer beater, like they did at East Carolina, you can find Dixon afterward in a laundry room, making sure his team has clean gear for the next day.

“We all wear many hats,” Dixon says. “If I gotta do it, I’ll do it.”

Or, they like stopping in New Haven for apizza.

Sounds like a horrible college and basketball experience for the kids.

actually, it sounds like quite the opposite for the vast and overwhelming majority of players who have no thoughts of playing at the next level.
fill up the van with ur pals to vagabond roadtrip around the nation, playing ball in new places? with a coach looking to find some washers to keep it all clean? awesome. memorable. friends for life.
'“If I gotta do it, I’ll do it.”'
that coach is a saint.
sumtimes, it feels like some here have forgotten what plain ol fun looks like.

Recruiting pitch: We are Coppin State. Do you have the right stuff?

"Why don't you just go someplace else?"
"What, and leave D-1?"

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Coppin St. is 9-2 against the point spread when playing an away game and getting +10 or more pts.

They have been a big money-maker for me as a recreational sports bettor.

Great kids!
