Point Spread: 13.50 | -102.00 Campbell (Away)
Result: Loss
The set-up: It's the Big South Conference championship game on Sunday afternoon, as the Campbell Fighting Camels (No. 7 seed) take on the top-seeded Winthrop Eagles, who are playing on their home court. .
Campbell: The Fighting Camels were just 7-11 in league play but have won three straight games, led by guard Chris Clemons (24.4 & 4.6), who has scored 27, 51 and 33 points in the three games! Fellow guard Whitfield (11.8 & 3.3) is the only other player averaging in double digits for the season. However, one hot player (like a hot goalie), can carry an entire team on his back, especially in the smaller conferences.
Winthrop: The Eagles have been led all sby the guard and forward duo of Keon Johnson and the 6-8 Xavier Cooks. Johnson averages 22.4 PPG and Cooks 16.2 & 9.0. Winthrop will be looking to rebound after getting a scare from Gardner-Webb in Friday's narrow 80-77 overtime win. As has been typical all year, Johnson led the team with 31 points while Cooks added 23 points, 15 rebounds and six blocks.
The pick: Winthrop won both regular season meetings, 72-63 on the road and 76-62 at home. However, Campbell has nothing to lose, while Winthrop could be a little tight, as the Eagles are well aware that they need a win to go 'dancing,' as the team's excellent reglalr season will be wasted without earning that automatic bid. No at-large bid would be waiting, if the Eagles lose. Take the points and make Campbell 10* play.
