South Carolina's Staley on playing at Coppin State: I think it's good on all fronts

Dawn Staley’s visit to Coppin State was a success for just about everyone. South Carolina won by 42 points, and the Eagles had more than 3,000 fans in their arena. Staley and the Gamecocks beat Coppin State 90-48 on Sunday. The attendance was 3,371 in the 4,100-seat PEC Arena. Coppin State got to host Maryland in 2021 and LSU two years later. This was a chance to bring another big-name program to Baltimore. South Carolina is 28-0 against HBCU teams during Staley's coaching tenure, and four of those games have been on the road.
