Senior forward Donta Scott has 2023 NBA Draft and First Team All-Big Ten potential, and he’s displaying that early in the season. He’s leading the team in scoring with 16.8 points per game. In Maryland’s last two games, Scott scored 24 in a win over Miami and 25 in beating Saint Louis.

Maryland puts one of the nation’s toughest defenses on the floor. The Terrapins are 38th in scoring defense (57.8 PPG), 36th in field goal percentage defense (36.5%), and 8th in 3-point percentage defense (22.1%). Sophomore forward Julian Reese ranks fourth in the nation with a 79.4 field goal percentage (27-of-34).

Coppin State vs Maryland Prediction

This game will be offering a contrast in styles. Copping State likes to run the floor and push the pace. According to KenPom, the Eagles own the 17th-fastest adjusted tempo in the NCAA.

Maryland likes to play a pressure defense, take away the 3-point shot and force teams to work the shot clock. KenPom is showing the Terrapins with the #8 perimeter defense in the nation. Maryland is forcing the 337th-longest defensive possessions.

A major edge for Maryland is in rebounding. Coppin State is 299th in the nation in rebounding at 32.86 boards per game. The Eagles are an even worse 327th in offensive rebounds, with 7.57 per game. Coppin State is 349th in rebound margin (-10.2). Maryland’s rebound margin is +6.8, tied for 66th in the nation.

Pick: Maryland -23.5 (-110)
