The Winthrop Eagles are riding a smooth seven game winning streak, including a Big South Tournament championship, into the NCAA Tournament. The Villanova Wildcats on the other hand are reeling, dropping each of their last two games since losing Bob Cousy Award finalist Colin Gillespie. Although this is a #12 vs #5 matchup, it sure does not feel like Winthrop is the underdog in this fight.
