The Winthrop Eagles have a legitimate chance to obtain second place within the Big South conference this season as they are currently in third place. However, after losing two straight games, they were able to get back on track as they picked up a win over the Buccaneers of Charleston Southern in their last time out as they need overtime along with 20 points from Adam Pickett to pick up the much-needed win.
The Hampton Pirates will simply be looking to end the season on a strong note as they have dropped five of their last seven games, overall. However, they will be looking for their third straight victory after picking up a win over the Radford Highlanders in their most recently outing to win only their second road game in five contests.
Winthrop Eagles
While the defense for the Eagles have been inconsistent in their last three outings, they were able to pick up a big win over the Buccaneers in their last time out thanks to Pickett, as stated, leading the team with 20 points on the night. Bjorn Broman along with Alex Ferguson also chipped in 15 and 14 points in the win as well as Broman went 4-5 from long-range for Winthrop.
And despite shooting 39% from the floor, the defense for the Eagles permitting just 34% shooting to Charleston Southern in the matchup. Also, the Eagles had troubles holding onto the ball in committing 17 turnovers while forcing 12 from the Buccaneers.

Free Winthrop Eagles vs. Hampton Pirates NCAAB Prediction:
Winthrop has bigger fish to fry at this point in the season as they will be looking to end conference play on a strong note. With that being said, look for them to shine in this season-ender as they will take advantage of a Hampton squad that dropped two of their last three home games entering this matchup. In all, Winthrop will pick up a 79-75 win in this matchup as I happen to believe that their victory over the Highlanders will provide them the necessary confidence to shine in the end.

Look for Winthrop to take advantage of an Eagles squad that has been a bit too inconsistent on the defensive end to close the season. With that being said, the visitors will control the pace of this contest while picking up the victory due to their consistency on offense along with their inability to give up quality looks throughout the night.
