The Lancers weren’t able to keep their heads above the .500 mark in their first 13 games this year, skidding into a 6-7 record to start things out.

Over the first 24 games Longwood had a 12-12 record in the books.

In their matchup with Gardner-Webb on Wednesday the Lancers were in control 44-35 by the end of the first half. Longwood played well in the second also, hitting a 42-31 run on the way to an 86-66 win in the end.

Why the Winthrop Eagles will win

• Winthrop has won each of its last nine games against non-AP-ranked opponents.
• Longwood has lost each of its last seven games at Winthrop Coliseum against non-AP-ranked opponents.
• Longwood has lost the first half in each of its last three day games at Winthrop Coliseum against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Longwood vs Winthrop Prediction

I’ll lean toward Winthrop. The Eagles shot a nice 48 percent from the field in their latest road win over Radford this week. Winthrop had a 38-32 edge in the paint but also committed 11 turnovers with a 41-35 rebounding deficit. Still, the Eagles are cooking these days on a nice nine-game win streak, posting 69 or more points in all of those outings.

These teams last met up back on December 31 in an 82-70 road loss for the Eagles. In that one Winthrop shot just 32.3 percent from the field with 20.8 percent (5-of-24) from outside and a 37-31 rebounding deficit. It wasn’t a great effort for the Eagles overall, and they’ll need a good bounce-back for the rematch. I like Winthrop to pull it off, though.
