  • Winthrop has won the first half in five of its last six games against non-AP-ranked opponents.

  • North Carolina-Asheville has won eight of its last 10 road day games against the Big South Conference.

Total Points Facts

  • Each of Winthrop’s last eight games against the Big South Conference at Winthrop Coliseum have produced a total of 151+ points.
  • Six of North Carolina-Asheville’s last seven day games against the Big South Conference have produced a total of 153+ points.

UNC Asheville vs Winthrop Prediction

Winthrop is the better team and should be favored at home, where it’s 9-1 SU, but this feels like too many points. Winthrop has played many games close to the vest lately, and it’s led to failed covers in 6 of its last 9 games. UNC Asheville has covered 6 of its last 7 games, and that includes a competitive game against Winthrop a couple of weeks ago. Winthrop can be sloppy defensively at times, and Asheville shoots the ball well enough to hang around. I’ll grab the points with the Bulldogs.

Randy Chambers's Pick: UNC Asheville +8.5
