Only one win separates Winthrop from a second-straight NCAA Tournament berth.

The Winthrop men’s basketball team (22-1) clinched the top seed in the Big South Conference tournament in mid-February, which means that it won’t need to travel outside of Rock Hill in its quest for the 2020-21 Big South crown. The Eagles, after defeating High Point on Monday night and crushing Longwood on Thursday, will now face (No. 3) Campbell on Sunday at home.

The game will be broadcast on ESPN at noon.

Winthrop has been hosting fans in the Coliseum this week. For specific information on the ticketing process, visit the athletic department’s website.

The Eagles won the Big South conference tournament in 2020. They also won it in 2017, which marks the last time they’ve been to the NCAA Tournament.
