Longwood vs Winthrop Prediction
Winthrop won both games against Longwood this season, which includes an 85-59 win on the road a little over a week ago. Winthrop is playing its best ball of the season with wins in eight of its last nine games and has covered seven of its last nine games. Winthrop is looking like a team that can win the Big South and make the NCAA Tournament. Longwood is going nowhere fast with losses in seven of its last nine games and it’s hard to find the confidence here based on how the first two meetings went. The line is reasonable. Give me Winthrop in a comfortable victory, as the Eagles make the Big South semifinals.
