The Eagles are led by former Terps All-American and national champion Juan Dixon, who is in his 6th season at the helm for Coppin.

Coppin State enters Friday's game versus Maryland on a two-game skid, having lost at Marshall and most recently at Towson on Tuesday. The Eagles also gave Georgetown a scare earlier this season, taking Patrick Ewing's team to overtime before finally falling to the Hoyas by a score of 99-89.

The Eagles are led by a senior point guard who's name should be familiar to Terp fans. Penn State transfer Sam Sessoms enter's Friday's game in College Park as the nation's 12th-leading scorer, averaging 22.0 points per game. The last time Sessoms played the Terps in College Park, he went off for 17 points in a PSU loss last season. It was the lone meeting between the Terps and Nittany Lions.

Maryland has advantages across the board versus Coppin and as double-digit favorites should be able to put the Eagles away early.
