Virginia Tech will host Coppin State on 3 November 2026 in an NCAA contest where the model names Virginia Tech the clear favourite, assigning it a 93% chance of victory, a reflection of its dominant 2-3 record over the last five games and a projected 82-65 win that echoes its season-long superiority. Virginia Tech has played 5 games this season, winning 2 and losing 3, scoring an average of 82 points per game and allowing 65, placing it high in the standings, while Coppin State also has a 2-3 record, averaging 65 points scored and 82 allowed, a mirror of Virginia Tech's numbers but with the roles reversed. In recent outings Virginia Tech lost to Wake Forest 89-95 at home on 10 March 2026, lost to Virginia 72-76 away on 7 March 2026, and beat Boston College 72-63 at home on 3 March 2026, whereas Coppin State lost to Morgan State 66-70 away on 5 March 2026, lost to Howard 70-90 away on 2 March 2026, and lost to Norfolk State 69-75 at home on 28 February 2026. Their head-to-head record is 2-0 in favour of Virginia Tech, the last meeting ending 100-55 for Virginia Tech on 6 November 2023. The Pythia model projects a total of 147.3 points, with a 2% probability of overtime.

Manage Cookies
Strictly Necessary
Always Active
Cookies required to use the site and the features you have asked for. They provide the
pages, predictions and account functions you requested. These are essential for the
operation of our website.
Session and security cookies, your logged-in state, your
subscription status, and the record of this cookie choice itself. These cannot be switched
off because the site cannot be delivered without them.
Functionality Cookies
Cookies that remember the preferences and settings from your last visit, so the site
behaves the way you left it. They do not tell us who you are and they are not used to
build a profile of you.
Your preferred tours and filters, which notices you have dismissed, your
theme choice, and display preferences you have chosen. Kept for up to two years, and you
can clear them from your browser at any time.
These are what "Essential Only" keeps. Choosing "Allow Necessary Cookies
Only" inside this panel switches them off as well.
Performance Cookies
Cookies used to collect information about your usage of the site. These are used to
produce aggregated statistics about visits to our pages. We use these statistics
internally to test and improve the site and to give you a better experience. Without them
our ability to provide a smoother experience may be degraded.
Which pages and predictions are read, how long pages take to
load, and which features are used, including Google Analytics. Reported in
aggregate, never sold, and not used to identify you personally when you are not signed in.
These are off unless you switch them on here or choose "Accept All".
Third Party Marketing/Targeting
Cookies used to deliver adverts relevant to you based on your interests. This can include
limiting the number of times you see an advert as well as helping us measure the
effectiveness of an advert. Without these cookies you will still see adverts, but they
will not be adjusted to your interests.
Set by our advertising partners. Switching these off does not
reduce the number of adverts you see; it only makes them less relevant to you.
