What to Know

The Winthrop Eagles are 12-2 against the Charleston Southern Buccaneers since December of 2015, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Saturday. The Eagles and Charleston Southern will face off in a Big South battle at 4 p.m. ET at Winthrop Coliseum. Winthrop is out to keep their 12-game home win streak alive.

Winthrop made easy work of the South Carolina Upstate Spartans on Thursday and carried off an 89-59 victory.

Meanwhile, the oddsmakers predicted a rough matchup for Charleston Southern on Wednesday, and boy were they were right. Their bruising 68-48 loss to the Presbyterian Blue Hose might stick with them for a while.

Winthrop is the favorite in this one, with an expected 18.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 6-12 against the spread when favored.

The Eagles are now 20-8 while the Buccaneers sit at 5-24. Two offensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Winthrop enters the game with a 48.60% field goal percentage, good for 13th best in college basketball. On the other end of the spectrum, Charleston Southern has only been able to knock down 40.10% percent of their shots, which is the ninth lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. We'll see if Winthrop's 8.50% advantage translates to a win.
