Match Analysis: South Florida Bulls vs Coppin St Eagles – Prediction
Match Details
- Date: November 13, 2025
- Time: 12:00 AM UTC
- Location: Yuengling Center, Tampa
Game Overview
The South Florida Bulls (1-1) host the struggling Coppin State Eagles (0-3) in a non-conference college basketball matchup. South Florida has demonstrated strong offensive capabilities, averaging 98.5 points per game on 44.8% shooting with excellent defensive pressure. Coppin State has struggled significantly on both ends of the floor, averaging just 63.3 points per game while allowing 84.7. This matchup heavily favors the home team, which possesses significant size, scoring depth, and transition opportunities that the Eagles' depleted roster cannot match.
Key Factors to Consider
- South Florida enters with momentum from their dominant 102-67 win over Florida A&M, though they suffered a setback against George Washington (95-99). The Bulls control the paint, force turnovers at an elite rate (averaging 13 steals per game), and maintain a fast-paced attack. Coppin State has lost three consecutive games to Maryland, Lamar State, and James Madison, with poor offensive efficiency (38.6% FG) and defensive lapses, particularly on the perimeter. The Eagles are allowing opponents to average nearly 41 rebounds per game, indicating serious rebounding and interior defense issues.
- No direct head-to-head history is available in the provided data. This appears to be a non-conference matchup between programs from different conferences.
- Coppin State's De'Ante Green (Achilles injury) remains sidelined, limiting roster depth. Josh Omojafo has been a bright spot despite the losses, scoring a career-high 33 points against George Washington. South Florida has no reported significant injuries impacting availability.
- South Florida plays at home, providing a significant advantage with crowd support and familiarity with Yuengling Center. Coppin State is playing their second consecutive road game, compounding travel fatigue with poor form. The Eagles' 0-2 road record reflects struggles away from home.
- South Florida seeks to return to winning ways after the George Washington loss and establish dominance early in the season. Coppin State desperately needs a win to avoid an 0-4 start and build confidence, though the matchup is highly unfavorable. The talent and experience gap strongly favors the home team.

Predicted Outcome
South Florida dominates throughout this matchup, leveraging superior size, offensive firepower, scoring efficiency, and elite perimeter defense to control pace and limit Coppin State's scoring opportunities. The Bulls' ability to force turnovers and push pace in transition will prove overwhelming for a depleted Eagles team lacking defensive cohesion and consistent offensive execution.
Predicted Score: South Florida 94, Coppin State 61
