Mount St. Mary's 69, Coppin State 60.
I promised regular updates, and I'm here to provide the first. The play-in game was tonight, and on Monday I said that I expected Mount St. Mary's to win over Coppin State. The score is in, and the Mountaineers won by nine points. It was pretty close for most of the contest, but Mount St. Mary's pulled away in the clutch. Aficionados of the SPI will remember that the Mountaineers have a significantly higher rating than the Eagles. Mount St. Mary's boasts an SPI rating of 103.8015 compared to Coppin State's 97.3570. A difference of six and a half points is not to be ignored. Thus far, things are looking good.
For the record, Mount St. Mary's next opponent, North Carolina, has an SPI rating of 117.2178. If a six and a half point difference is huge, then a thirteen and a half point difference is even more so. Stay tuned.
