Pick: Longwood Moneyline (-130) - B
Longwood has been riding a three-game winning streak, capitalizing on their defensive discipline and home-court advantage, while Winthrop has lost two of their last three outings, struggling to close games late. Adding to the Eagles' concerns, their starting center remains questionable with lingering knee soreness, which could open the door for Longwood's physical interior presence to dominate the boards. Historically, Longwood’s backcourt, led by senior guard Isaiah Wilkins, has punished Winthrop’s perimeter defense, averaging over 17 points per game in his last three meetings against them. Given the Lancers' momentum, roster stability, and favorable matchup history, backing them at home is the safer play, even at slightly juiced odds. While this pick doesn’t represent overwhelming value, it carries a solid probability of cashing. (Sources: Team Injury Reports, Recent Game Logs)
Pick: Under 164 - B
![]()
Winthrop enters this matchup on a three-game losing streak, struggling offensively in their recent contests, while Longwood has strung together two straight wins with a focus on strong defensive play. Adding to Winthrop’s concerns is the absence of starting guard Josh Lewis, whose scoring and playmaking will be sorely missed against a disciplined Longwood defense. Historically, Longwood's big man Michael Christmas has given Winthrop trouble in the paint, limiting their second-chance opportunities and slowing down their typically fast-paced attack. Given Winthrop's recent offensive struggles, Longwood's grind-it-out style, and the injury situation, this matchup sets up for a slower tempo and limited scoring. With 164 as the total, taking the under carries solid value, earning this pick a B-grade.
Pick: Winthrop +2 (-110) - B
![]()
Winthrop enters this matchup looking to turn things around after dropping back-to-back games, while Longwood rides into the contest with two consecutive wins, gaining momentum at the right time. The Lancers, however, are dealing with a key injury to their leading rebounder, which could open up opportunities for Winthrop’s frontcourt to control the boards. Historically, Winthrop has had the upper hand in this matchup, having won three of the last four meetings against Longwood despite playing on the road. Given Winthrop's ability to capitalize on the glass and their recent success against Longwood, taking the Eagles with the points presents solid value. While Longwood’s home-court advantage is a factor, the edge goes to the Eagles with a B-grade confidence.
