Message: [QUOTE="Hey Adrien!, post: 3825447, member: 5787"] 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? [LIST] [*]They play the 5th fastest tempo in the NCAA [*]They have the 29th best FG% in the NCAA (54.8%) [*]They cause turnovers in 22.6% of their defensive possessions, which is 31st in the nation. [*]Their opponents snare just 21% of offensive rebound opportunities, which is 12th in the nation. [*]They are deep. 11 players average at least 11 minutes-per-game. [*]Their bench plays 41.3% of their minutes, which is 16th in the nation. [*]Their best player is their 6'7 senior point guard Chandler Vaudrin. Vaudrin averages 12.6p, 6.9r, 7.6a, 1.5s and 37.5 3p%. Vaudrin is only player on Winthrop who averages more than 25 miniutes-per-game (he averages 32.2 mpg). [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
