Located in Baltimore, Md., Coppin State is a member of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference and finished 16-14 last year with an 11-5 league record (tied for second place). The Eagles return 10 letterwinners and four starters from that squad, and are picked third out of 13 teams in the preseason MEAC poll.
Leading the way for Coppin State through two games (an 80-65 home win over Cheyney University and a 78-68 road loss to Loyola Maryland) is senior guard Tony Gallo. One of four returning players who averaged double figures in scoring last year, Gallo is averaging 20.0 points and 2.5 assists this season. He has already made seven 3-pointers (.389) and is coming off a 23-point effort at Loyola Maryland. Senior guard Akeem Ellis is averaging 14.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game and turned in a 13-point, 6-rebound, 9-assist performance at Loyola Maryland. Michael Harper, another senior guard, is contributing 12.5 points per contest off the bench on .692 field goal shooting (9-for-13). Harper was a second-team all-conference selection last year when he averaged a team-high 15.2 points per game and led the league in 3-point (.438) and free throw (.881) percentage.
The Eagles are under the direction of head coach Ron "Fang" Mitchell, who is 396-358 (.525) over his 25 years, all at Coppin State.
