At 15-0 and six games remaining in the Big South, Winthrop is statistically the most likely team to enter March Madness undefeated.
Yes, the Big South is a weak conference, but they have some good non-con wins over Furman (87), Little Rock (161) and UNC-Greensboro (116).
Starting tomorrow, they play their toughest four-game conference stretch playing 3rd place UNC-Asheville on Thursday and Friday and 2nd place Radford the following Thursday and Friday.
What makes Winthrop special?
