Rutgers rolls Coppin State despite alarming shooting numbers (again)

On paper, Coppin State was the team without a shot Sunday.

Unless that piece of paper had a printed box score on it.

Rutgers rolled over-matched Coppin State, 64-39, despite an ugly shooting performance on anything that wasn't just a few feet from the baskets at Rutgers Athletics Center in Piscataway.

Picked to finish 12th in the low-major MEAC preseason poll, Coppin State has lost its first five games and started last season 0-12 before beating Goldey-Beacom College.

Rutgers (4-0) has beaten City College of New York, Central Connecticut State, Cleveland State and Coppin State to open a non-conference schedule ranked among the softest in the nation.
