What to Know

The Presbyterian Blue Hose haven't won a matchup against the Winthrop Eagles since Jan. 26 of 2019, but they'll be looking to end the drought Saturday. Presbyterian and Winthrop will face off in a Big South battle at 2 p.m. ET at Ross E. Templeton P.E. Center. The Blue Hose are out to stop a five-game streak of losses at home.

Presbyterian came up short against the UNC-Asheville Bulldogs on Wednesday, falling 88-80.

Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the game between Winthrop and the Charleston Southern Buccaneers on Wednesday was still a pretty decisive one as Winthrop wrapped it up with a 76-64 win at home.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Presbyterian is expected to win a tight contest. They are currently three-for-three against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

The Blue Hose are now 5-17 while the Eagles sit at 9-13. Two defensive stats to keep an eye on: Presbyterian has allowed their opponents to shoot 46.20% from the floor on average, which is the 30th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. Winthrops have had an even harder time: they have allowed their opponents to shoot 46.90% from the floor on average, which is the 10th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. The good news? The teams might be seeing more of their shots fall.
