Gardner-Webb Runnin’ Bulldogs vs Winthrop Eagles Betting Preview
Winthrop returns home Saturday looking to reassert control in Big South play. The Eagles sit at 8-8 overall, but their 5-1 record at Winthrop Coliseum continues to separate their profile from road results. You can track current pricing and market movement on the NCAA basketball odds page.
Gardner-Webb enters at 2-14 and remains winless away from home. The Bulldogs have struggled to string together defensive stops, especially on the road, which becomes a problem against one of the conference’s faster-paced home teams.

Matchup Breakdown
Gardner-Webb’s path to staying competitive relies on shot efficiency and secondary scoring. Navuan Peterson, Colin Hawkins, and Jacob Hogarth have shown they can score in spurts, and the Bulldogs proved earlier this season they can push pace when shots fall. The issue has been sustaining that offense against structured defenses.
Winthrop’s advantage is tempo and interior production. The Eagles average nearly 87 points per game and are far more comfortable dictating pace at home. Logan Duncomb anchors the paint and consistently wins rebounding matchups, while Daylen Berry adds perimeter balance. If Winthrop establishes transition offense early, separation follows.
