Winthrop vs South Carolina Upstate Prediction
Winthrop hasn’t had a lot of road success this season, but it probably doesn’t matter here. South Carolina Upstate is an awful basketball team with just five wins on the season and has lost six times at home. South Carolina Upstate hasn’t won a game in a month and has failed to cover five of its last eight games despite being big underdogs nightly. Winthrop has been one of the better teams in the Big South this season and can’t afford to blow games like this if it’s going to compete for a title come March. I have no confidence in South Carolina Upstate. Give me Winthrop in a comfortable road win.
