Formerly an all-girls school until 1974, Winthrop is becoming a perennial power in the Big South. Gregg Marshall has been to the tournament 6 out of the last 8 seasons now and should get Bobby Gonzalez-like buzz as jobs open up in the ACC and SEC. In addition to beating Marquette, they played Alabama and Auburn very tough. It is only a matter of time before Winthrop advances beyond one and done in the NCAA Tournament, wait until you see who they draw but DON’T SLEEP ON WINTHROP!
