To say the Coppin State Eagles are in unchartered territory would be an understatement. Last season, after finishing the regular season just 10-29 overall and 7-20 in the MEAC, the Eagles did not even qualify for the MEAC Conference Tournament.
This year, despite a sub-.500 24-28 record overall, the Eagles were 17-13 in conference, the No. 2 seed in the MEAC Conference Tournament, ran through the double elimination tournament going 3-1 while beating the No. 1 seed Delaware State twice, and advancing to their first ever NCAA Regional.
It is a true feel good story as the Eagles make program history.
