Longwood vs Winthrop Prediction

The Longwood Lancers head into this game playing the better basketball, but I’m still going to lean toward Winthrop. Yes, the Winthrop Eagles are coming off back-to-back losses in their favorite role, but they’re also 10-1 SU at home on the season. While it’s not a good look for Winthrop to drop two games it was expected to win, both games were on the road. The Longwood Lancers allow teams to shoot nearly 47 percent from the field, and that’s not great going up against this Winthrop offense. The Winthrop Eagles are a top-25 scoring offense in the country. Give me Winthrop and whatever the line is.
