Coastal Carolina Chanticleers Betting Preview

Coastal Carolina got off to a spotty 2-4 start this year. Those losses came versus East Carolina, NC State, Jacksonville State, and Alabama A&M. Since then it’s been a pair of victories for the Chanticleers over USC Upstate and Campbell.

In the Campbell matchup on Wednesday, the Chanticleers held a 26-17 halftime edge. Coastal Carolina had to scramble in the second half on a 40-32 deficit but still won 58-57. Noah Amenhauser was tops on the team with 20 points and six rebounds.

Winthrop Eagles Betting Preview

Over on the Winthrop side, they lost three of their first seven games. The Eagles fell to Virginia Tech, Georgia Southern, and Louisville at that time. Winthrop has won three in a row though, taking out LIU, Averett, and Queens U.

Matched up against the Royals on Tuesday, the Eagles scored 40 points in the first half and 46 more from there in an 86-78 win. Nick Johnson was the leading team scorer with 20 points and three rebounds.

Why the Winthrop Eagles will win

• Winthrop has won each of its last four games at Winthrop Coliseum.
• Coastal Carolina has lost 10 of its last 11 Saturday road games.
• Coastal Carolina has lost the first half in 11 of its last 14 night games.

Why the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers will win

• Winthrop has lost 12 of its last 16 night games against non-conference opponents.

Coastal Carolina vs Winthrop Prediction

I’m likely staying with Winthrop, but you’ll probably be able to call this one either way. The Eagles are coming off a nice shooting effort versus Queens, hitting 49.2 percent from the field alongside a 43-36 rebounding advantage. The 13 turnovers didn’t help, though. Winthrop has scored 86 or more points in three straight games, and 77 or more points in all seven of their wins.

As for Coastal Carolina, they held the Camels to 32 percent shooting in their latest win but didn’t play the greatest second half. That said, the Chanticleers have hit 70 points or more in three of their last four games, so they’re capable of some big totals. All things considered, however, I like Winthrop slightly better here.
