No betting line has been posted for this game yet. Sportsbooks usually post college basketball lines the day before; a few small-conference games get one only on game day or not at all. Books also take a line down for a while when a key player's status is unclear. We check ESPN and The Odds API several times a day and add the line as soon as there is one.

Not a promise: a 94% pick still loses about 1 time in 10.

Advantages Why Virginia Tech can win

  1. Season-long ratings: betting lines have rated Virginia Tech about 9.1 points stronger over recent games.
  2. Net rating (points per 100 possessions): Virginia Tech 88th (+5.6), Coppin State 360th (-24.1) of 365.
  3. Virginia Tech's offense (112.8 points per 100 possessions, 88th in Division I) meets a Coppin State defense that ranks 340th.
  4. Home court: Virginia Tech play at home, worth about 3 points in college basketball, more than in the NBA.
  5. Team matchup: where Virginia Tech can take advantage. Their ball pressure (132nd of 365) meets the Coppin State ball security (362nd), so look for them to turn steals into easy points in transition. And their shooting efficiency (133rd of 365) meets the Coppin State shooting defense (339th): a chance to get clean looks against a defense that gives them up.
  6. Star matchup: At guard, Ben Hammond (Virginia Tech: 13.2 pts, 2.3 reb, 3.2 ast, Game Score 10.8) has the edge on Hassan Perkins (Coppin State: 6.6 pts, 1.5 reb, 2.9 ast, Game Score 4.8); best player against best player, Amani Hansberry (Virginia Tech: 14.3 pts, 7.4 reb, 2.4 ast, Game Score 12.2) has the edge on Demariontay Hall (Coppin State: 10.6 pts, 5.4 reb, 0.5 ast, Game Score 6.8).
  7. Simulation: Virginia Tech win 4,720 of 5,000 simulated games.

Disadvantages Why Virginia Tech may not

  1. Weak spot: Virginia Tech rank 284th of 365 in defensive rebounding (share of misses) (67.4%).
  2. Shooting variance: one hot or cold night from three swings college games by 10 points or more.
  3. Who plays: college basketball has no league-wide injury report, so a late absence can arrive at tip-off.
  4. Young rosters: freshmen and transfers can change a team's level from one month to the next.
  5. Team matchup: where Coppin State can push back. Their offensive rebounding (183rd of 365) meets the Virginia Tech defensive rebounding (284th), so look for them to crash the glass for second chances.
  6. Star matchup: the key positions lean Virginia Tech on paper, but Demariontay Hall (10.6 pts, 5.4 reb, 0.5 ast, Game Score 6.8) is the kind of player who can swing one game.
  7. Upset odds: Coppin State win 280 of 5,000 simulations (6%). A 94% pick still loses about 1 time in 10.
