Charleston Southern comes into this matchup on a three game winning streak and they have scored 77+ points in all three wins.

Winthrop has lost three of their last four D1 games and they have allowed 82+ points in those three losses. The Eagles are shooting 45% from the field, but I don’t like what I am seeing on the defensive end of the court. Take the points with Charleston Southern here.
