They and the NC Central Eagles will face off in a MEAC battle at 4:00 p.m. ET at Physical Education Complex Arena. Coppin State has now lost nine straight, and the team is hunting for their first win since January 8.

The Eagles' loss was their 16th straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 2-23.
