Winthrop vs Radford Prediction

I’ll lean toward Radford. The Highlanders posted a nice comeback overtime victory against a middling Presbyterian team in a road matchup this past weekend, notching 43.1 percent from the field. Radford got beaten 56-30 in the paint and 41-29 on the boards though, alongside a tepid 69 percent (20-of-29) from the line. Still, the victory gives the Highlanders four wins in their last six games and they’ve scored 83 or more points in five of those.

These teams last met up very recently in a 76-75 road loss for the Highlanders on January 21. Radford shot a nice 53.3 percent from the field with advantages on both the boards and in the paint during that defeat. That said, the Highlanders had just nine team assists and coughed up a whopping 19 turnovers. Ball control will be the name of the game in the home rematch and I think Radford pulls it off.

Andrew Jett's Pick: Radford Highlanders +2.5
