The Opponent: Winthrop Eagles
Date: November 20, 2021
Time: TBA
Last Year: 23-2 (17-1 Big South), 101st in KenPom
Head Coach
When you’re a Big South team and you go 23-2, your head coach tends to get hired away by another school, and that’s exactly what happened after Winthrop did that last season. Pat Kelsey (who was, ironically, supposedly the runner-up for the Vanderbilt job when Vanderbilt hired Bryce Drew in 2016) is out after nine years and a 186-95 record, hired by the College of Charleston.
