Winthrop vs Presbyterian Prediction
Presbyterian will have its chances at home, where it’s won seven of its 11 games this season. The problem is Winthrop has been the more consistent team all year and already beat Presbyterian a few weeks ago by nine points. Winthrop has won nine of the last 10 games against Presbyterian overall. Presbyterian continues to have issues defensively, and it’s led to losses in seven of its last 10 games. Winthrop is seventh in scoring offense and has to view this as a chance to keep chipping away in the Big South standings. I’ll lay the bucket with Winthrop on the road.
