Welcome to the Madness: Winthrop Eagles


After another conference champion is crowned, there are now two teams locked into the NCAA tournament field. The Winthrop Eagles have joined the dance, so let's take a look at their season.

Winthrop Eagles
Record: (19-13 Overall, 12-6 Conference)
Conference: Big South
The Eagles return to the tournament after missing it last year after a 4 year streak of making the NCAA's. Winthrop beat Coastal Carolina, the favorites by far who led the conference this season. The Eagles resume isn't that good, with no major wins against anybody of note. Expect them to get a 13 or 14 seed on Selection Sunday.

Player to Watch:
G Reggie Middleton - 10.4 PPG, 3.0 APG

Congrats to the Winthrop Eagles on making the 2010 NCAA Tournament! Mercer and ETSU are in the second half of their championship game for the A-Sun at the time of posting, so a post should come up soon about that game.
