ANALYSIS: They may not cause sleepless nights for opponents, but Winthrop, as a slightly above-average team, cannot be totally ignored. They are ranked #114 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 26-7. Of the 10 schools in the Big South (average ranking 252.1), they're currently ranked as the best team in the conference.
If there is a strength for Winthrop this year, it's probably on the defensive end of the court. The team is rated 113th in defensive efficiency, allowing fewer than 100 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Winthrop owns a pretty good track record against teams that shoot the three. They rank 61st in the NCAA in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make just 33.1% of their attempts from afar.
Winthrop plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 151st nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 102 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Winthrop will make a concerted effort to fire off quite a few three-pointers each game. The team ranks 42nd in ratio of three-point attempts to total field goal attempts. If you do allow them to shoot from long, they have the ability to punish you for it, too. Ranked in the top-100 in three-point shooting percentage, they make approximately 37.2% of their three-point attempts vs. AO. Winthrop also does fairly solid work converting shots between the three-point stripe and the low post. The squad is ranked 56th nationally in mid-range field goal percentage, making about 39.2% of their attempts from those locations vs. AO.
Winthrop is one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked 18th in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict. When playing on the road, Winthrop has played their best basketball this season. The team is currently ranked 12th in the country in the away-from-home metric our site tracks.
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location. Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.
