The top-seeded High Point Panthers (19-11) gear up for a Big South Tournament showdown against the fifth-seeded Winthrop Eagles (16-14) on Saturday.
High Point has had Winthrop's number this season, dismantling the Eagles twice—an 88-66 rout last month and an 84-62 blowout in late January. The Panthers were lights out in those meetings, shooting 46.5% and 54.5% from the floor, while stifling Winthrop to sub-40% shooting on both occasions. That dominance is no shock to those familiar with the Big South, as High Point boasts the league’s most prolific offense and arguably its stingiest defense.
That said, Winthrop enters this matchup in fine form. The Eagles have strung together five consecutive victories, with their only two setbacks in the last 12 games coming at the hands of High Point.
