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.
