HBCU vs. Big Ten Matchup Set for HOF Series in Baltimore
This exciting matchup marks the Hall of Fame's return to Charm City after its successful debut in 2024. Hosted in partnership with Position Sports, the event showcases top-tier college basketball programs in premier non-conference games across the country.
Maryland currently leads the all-time series 2–1. However, Coppin State fans still remember the Eagles' dominant 70–53 victory in the first meeting in 1989. That game featured none other than current Coppin State head coach Larry Stewart, who was a standout forward at the time.
Since then, the Terrapins have claimed victories in 2022 and 2023. The upcoming contest offers Coppin State a chance to even the series and make a national statement.
"It's a great opportunity for our program and institution to be part of the HOF Series in Baltimore to kick off the season," said Stewart. "We're excited to play a top-tier program like Maryland. I expect a packed house full of Eagle and Terrapin fans, plus the great sports fans of Baltimore."
The 2025 Hall of Fame Series will feature a doubleheader of regional matchups. Alongside Coppin State vs. Maryland, Towson will face off against Loyola Maryland. Details on game times, tickets, and broadcast coverage will be released soon.
Melissa Meacham-Grossman, President of Position Sports, emphasized the importance of the event. "Returning to Baltimore shows the growing excitement around the HOF Series and the region's deep love for college basketball," she said.
For Coppin State and other HBCU programs, participating in events like the Hall of Fame Series is more than just a game-it's a chance to elevate their visibility and competitiveness on a national stage. Facing a Big Ten opponent in their home city adds to the significance.

Sepp Straka withdraws from BMW Championship for family matter
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Sepp Straka has withdrawn from the BMW Championship because of a private family matter, but still plans to play in the Tour Championship next week. His manager, Butler Melnyk, did not disclose the nature of the family matter in a statement that said Straka had asked for privacy. That leaves a 49-man field for the BMW Championship at Caves Valley. Straka is not affected by the withdrawal. He is No. 5 in the FedEx Cup, too far behind to claim the $5 million prize that goes to the No. 1 player in the standings. Scottie Scheffler has clinched that. All 30 players who reach the Tour Championship start from scratch in pursuit of the FedEx Cup title and its $10 million bonus. Straka is No. 6 in the Ryder Cup standings for Europe. The Austrian native can be bumped out of the top six by Shane Lowry or Ludvig Aberg this week. The leading six players qualify for the European team after the Tour Championship and the British Masters. Either way, Straka is likely to be a pick. He is No. 10 in the world ranking. ___ AP golf:
