Villanova to host Coppin State on Nov. 24

Per Coppin State’s official schedule release, the Eagles will be traveling to Villanova for a late-November clash.

A year ago, Coppin State finished 7-24 (5-9 in MEAC play), which was good for sixth in an eight-team league. The Eagles were ineligible for the MEAC Tournament due to Academic Progress Rate penalties issued by the NCAA. Coppin State is led by Larry Stewart, who is going into his fourth season as head coach.

Coppin State is the first known “buy game” for Villanova. The schedule as a whole, which should be released soon, now officially includes the following:

At Rutgers (Exhibition) – October 11

Vs. Notre Dame (Rome, Italy) – November 1

At Pittsburgh – November 17

Vs. Coppin State – November 24

At Kansas – November 27

Vs. Wisconsin (neutral-site game at Xfinity Mobile Arena) – December 12

Other games that are confirmed, but don’t have a date:

If Villanova plays 11 out-of-conference games once again, there’s only one more left to schedule. It will likely be another home game against a low-major school, but it would be nice to be surprised.
