Pitt crushed Coppin St. This was not a surprise. No Pitt player went more than 25 minutes in the game. Pitt cruised to a 73-42 win. Pitt never trailed. An easy win against a bad opponent.
I mean, both papers came with the same angle on this game – Coppin St. once upset South Carolina at the Civic Mellon Arena in ‘97 in the NCAA Tournament. A #15 seed over a #2 seed. That was really all they had to sell this game against a MEAC team from Baltimore (hell, I didn’t even know where Coppin St. was, and I was born in Baltimore).
