HIGH POINT, N.C. (Interstat) — A high-stakes rematch with Big South Conference supremacy on the line is set for Saturday when the first-place High Point Panthers host the surging Winthrop Eagles at Qubein Arena. The Panthers (25-4, 14-2), who clinched at least a share of the regular-season title with a 74-48 rout of UNC Asheville on Thursday, enter on a nine-game winning streak. Their only conference losses this season came in January, including a 92-75 defeat at the hands of these same Eagles on Jan. 14. Winthrop (20-8, 12-4) arrives with momentum of its own, having won seven straight games, the latest a 68-64 victory over USC Upstate on Thursday. The Eagles’ offense, averaging 84.5 points during the streak, will test a High Point defense that has held its last three opponents under 55 points. The spotlight will be on a duel of standout guards. Winthrop’s Logan Duncomb has been sensational, scoring 24 or more points in four of his last five outings, including 24 points and four assists in the Jan. 14 win over High Point. For the Panthers, Terry Anderson provides consistent firepower, averaging 18.4 points over his last eight games and scoring 31 in a Jan. 23 victory at Radford. High Point, boasting the conference’s best overall record, can secure the outright regular-season championship with a victory. A Winthrop win would tighten the standings and complete a season sweep, providing crucial momentum ahead of the upcoming Big South tournament. Saturday’s contest tips off at 7 p.m. EST. High Point leads the all-time series 34-31, but Winthrop has won three of the last five meetings.
