COPP vs GTWN Preview
Last Meeting ( Dec 12, 2023 ) Coppin St. 54, Georgetown 71
Off to its best start since the 2017-18 season, Georgetown will look to continue its winning ways on Saturday afternoon against struggling Coppin State in Washington, D.C.
The Hoyas (10-2) have won three in a row and eight of their last nine overall.
While the improvements didn't happen overnight, coach Ed Cooley's impact has been felt during his second season on the sideline. Georgetown already surpassed its win totals of each of the past three seasons.
Cooley brought in 14 new players after his first season at Georgetown ended with a disappointing 9-23 record. Freshman center Thomas Sorber is second on the team in scoring at 15.2 points per game and leads the Hoyas with 8.0 rebounds per contest.
"One of the more unique personalities we've coached," Cooley told 106.7 The Fan on Friday.
"He's an energy giver. He's one of these men that doesn't have a bad day. He's an inspiration to be around."
So far Sorber has inspired many to remember Georgetown teams of the past that typically featured a talented post presence.
Sorber had 19 points and eight rebounds to help Georgetown to a 61-60 win at Seton Hall on Sunday.
Georgetown has had to play its last two games without backcourt starter Malik Mack (lower body).
Mack, a transfer from Harvard, collected nine points, eight assists and six rebounds in the Hoyas' 75-71 victory at Syracuse on Dec. 14.
"I feel his impact on the team is getting better and better," Cooley said about Mack.
"He's coming off an injury. Hopefully he's ready to play on Saturday."
After opening the season with 12 consecutive losses, Coppin State (1-12) found the win column with a 68-60 victory over Navy last Saturday.
The Eagles used an opportunistic defense to snap their losing streak, forcing 20 turnovers and turning them into 24 points. Toby Nnadozie, who scored a career-high 20 points, was one of three Eagles with three steals.
Nnadozie is second on the team in scoring at 9.2 points per game. Leading scorer Derrius Ward (12.4 points per game) last played on Nov. 14 against UMBC.
Coppin State has faced five power conference teams to start the season, going 0-5 and losing by an average of 24 points. Despite the losses, coach Larry Stewart's teams held Wake Forest, Virginia and North Carolina State to 66 or fewer points.
