Preseason notes:
Winthrop is a member of the Big South Conference.
They were picked to finish 5th in the 9 team league in preseason polls.
Daylen Berry was named to the Big South Preseason 2nd Team. Berry transferred from league rival Charleston Southern where he finished 12th in scoring, 4th in steals, 10th in assists, and 13th in rebounding.
They finished the 24-25 season with an overall record of 23-11 and finished 11-5 in conference play which was good enough for a second place tie. They lost to #1 High Point in the Big South championship game. They were 16-2 at home, 5-8 on the road, and 2-1 at neutral sites.
Winthrop was 0-2 against Quad 1 teams, 0-3 against Quad 2, 4-4 against Quad 3, and 16-2 against Quad 4 teams.

5’9” Kareem Rozier - 8 pts & 5 assists against Queens - Senior - Played at Duquesne from 2022-2025
6’1” Isaiah Wilson - 5 pts, 3 reb, 3 assists against Queens - Grad Student
Additional Transfers:
6’4” Josh Meo - 8.5 ppg & 2.9 reb - Senior - Coastal Carolina
6’6” Pharrell Boyogueno - 7.9 ppg & 4.3 reb - Senior - Gardner-Webb
6-6” Braylhan Thomas - 3.1 ppg, 2.5 reb, .7 assists - Sophomore - Georgia Southern

Freshmen:
6’4” Kaleb Evans
Team Stats: 24-25 Season
Winthrop averaged 78.1 points per game while giving up 69.8.
The Eagles shot 47.8% from the floor and 35.2% from 3.
Opponents shot 42.6% from the field and 33.7% from 3.
The Eagles shot 70.3% from the free throw line.
They were out rebounded by opponents by 3.1 boards per game and averaged 10.0 turnovers per contest.
Thoughts: They lost their top 4 scorers from last season, all averaging between 15.8 and 12.6 ppg. Their returning players contributed very little last season. Captain Obvious reports that any success the Eagles have this year likely rests with transfers, much like ours. Daylen Berry was sharp and productive in the opener, I hope we shut him down.
This should be a win.
