That’s what they’ve been telling themselves for the past 5 years. It hasn’t helped yet, but there’s always next year.

That’s a 2-27, yes 2-27, non-conference record over the last three seasons. With 0-11 looking like a good possibility this season, it can’t be good for the player’s psyche.
This isn’t going to help them either:

Basketball: Men’s Competition
BALTIMORE, MD— Head Men’s Basketball Coach Ron “Fang” Mitchell announced Thursday afternoon that former Coppin State University student-athletes Nicholas King, Raheem Scott, Darron Bradley, and Derek Daniels have transferred from the Eagle program.

He averaged 14.1 points per game last season and led the team in points (409), three-point field goals (51), and minutes played (1003). He saw action as a starter in all 29 of Coppin’s contests and broke a career high in points at South Carolina State on February 7, 2005 where he posted 31. In his first season the Philadelphia native was named to the MEAC All-Rookie team after averaging 10.8 points and 4.3 rebounds per game during the 2003-2004 campaign.

He placed third on last years squad in points (221), field goals (74), and minutes played (987), while holding fourth in rebounds with 132. He was named to the MEAC All-Tournament team as a sophomore during the 2003-2004 season and as a freshman was one of only three players to start all 28 games for the Eagles. Scott would have entered his senior season with 569 points and 381 rebounds with 2,656 minutes in 88 games played at Coppin.
