St. Joe's will have an opportunity to come back from an ugly loss against a ranked Creighton team when they face Coppin State, a squad that has only won one game this season.
St. Joseph's will try to bounce back from an ugly loss Saturday to No. 11 Creighton Tuesday night when they take on a lowly Coppin State team.
The start to St. Joe's season hasn't been ideal, as they've dropped two of their six games. But the two losses have been somewhat understandable: Florida State isn't the best team in the ACC, but they played well in a win in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic championship game, and Creighton is 7-1 behind the play of Doug McDermott, who scored 23 points in the 29-point win against the Hawks this past week.
Coppin State will provide an easier opponent. Ken Pomeroy's rankings have the Eagles ranked No. 318 - that's out of 347 NCAA teams - and their only win thus far came against Division II Cheyney. They'll be excused for their loss to No. 1 Indiana their last time out, but before that they'd dropped games to Florida Atlantic, Colgate, and Loyola-Maryland, not exactly a wrecking crew.
The game is at 7:30 ET at St. Joseph's Hagan Arena.
