UNC Asheville Bulldogs
UNC Asheville enters this one winners of four of their last five, and they’ve opened Big South play with a pair of victories over Campbell and Charleston Southern.
Tajion Jones led the Bulldogs in scoring last season, and he’s off to another strong start this year. The senior guard is averaging 13.3 ppg, and he’s hit multiple three’s in each of the past nine games.
Fellow senior LJ Thorpe brings even more experience to the lineup. The 6’5 forward scored 14 points and grabbed eight boards in the win over Campbell, and he’s averaging a solid 11.2 ppg, 3.3 rpg, and 3.3 apg.
Drew Pember has been a great addition from Tennessee. The 6’10 forward scored a career-high 27 points in the win over ETSU, and he scored 24 points in the win over Campbell. He’s come in and given the Bulldogs a strong frontcourt presence, and he’s averaging 11.6 ppg and a team-leading 5.9 rpg.
Second-year starter Trent Stephney mans the point guard slot, and he leads the team in assists (3.6).
Winthrop Eagles
Winthrop came out of non-conference play above .500, and managed to pick up solid victories over Washington and Furman. They escaped with a victory over Campbell Monday, winning the see-saw battle late, 74-72.
The Eagles have scored a respectable 77.7 ppg, and shoot 47.3% as a team, both ranking in the top quadrants of the country.
The loss of do-it-all forward Chandler Vaudrin has been eased by hometown stud D.J. Burns Jr. The 6’9 junior has taken a third year leap, scoring 20 or more in each of his last three games, and 24 points in win over Washington. Burns Jr. leads the team in scoring (17.2), while grabbing 5.1 rpg.
Western Carolina transfer Cory Hightower joins him up front. The versatile forward double-doubled in the win over Hartford, and he’s averaging 10.6 ppg and 5.7 rpg.
Phil Good is second on the team in scoring at 11.7 ppg, and he’s joined by Mizzou transfer Drew Buggs, who leads Winthrop in assists (4.1).

4* Free CBB Betting Pick: UNCA ML (+280)
The Bulldogs have jumped out to a strong start behind senior leadership and a new key piece. The Eagles have impressed without Vaudrin, but if UNCA finds a way to neutralize big D.J. Burns Jr., they will be in this one.
Take a shot on UNC Asheville’s ML for this Big South battle, and confidently take their spread.
