North Dakota vs Winthrop Prediction
We learned nothing from North Dakota getting taken behind the woodshed by Minnesota. North Dakota should be the more battle-tested team, but that offense has had issues dating back to last season, and its season opener wasn’t any different. Winthrop was an underdog against Queens but still showed promise offensively and had its chances to steal it as it was a five-point game with two minutes left. I believe there’s value with Winthrop and the free bucket, as it’s shown more up to this point. Give me the bucket with the Eagles.
