Winthrop at Coastal Carolina

Coastal Carolina isn't playing a JV team this time. The Chanticleers are coming off a record-breaking, 121–44, win against Virginia University of Lynchburg in their home opener this past Friday. Now the Chanticleers host Winthrop. The Eagles finished 23–11 last season, tying for second in the Big South Conference. The Eagles ranked sixth nationally last year in scoring with 84.7 points and are averaging 85.5 points in two games this season. The linesmaker has learned from last season when the two teams met and the total was 140.5. That total flew OVER with Winthrop beating Coastal Carolina, 96-89. The total for today's game is set much higher than last season - too high. These two teams are in-state rivals, and Coastal Carolina is the home team with revenge. The Chanticleers opened their season with a 76-71 road loss to Western Michigan. Their lopsided win against an overmatched Virginia University of Lynchburg, plus Winthrop's high-scoring reputation, has caused this total to be set too high. Take the UNDER.
