Big South Tournament: The Analysis
The Big South has given us one of the best stories in the country this season in Longwood, who finished the regular season at 23-6 overall, going 15-1 in league play to win its first-ever outright regular-season title.

Having joined the Conference in 2012, Longwood has never finished above .500 either overall or in league play. Head Coach Griff Aldrich has done a remarkable job turning this program around in his fourth season in Farmville, Va.
For the first time since its inception back in 1986, the Big South Tournament will be held in Charlotte, NC. For those who factor geography into your March Madness predictions, it’s worth considering that Charlotte is a fairly central location in terms of the league as a whole, although Gardner-Webb, Winthrop and High Point will have the shortest distances to travel.
After having 11 total teams for the last three seasons, the Big South added North Carolina A&T this year. Those 12 teams were divided into two six-team divisions, with Longwood winning the North and perennial Big South favorite Winthrop winning the South.

Big South Tournament Tournament History
Historically speaking, Winthrop has dominated the Big South Tournament, winning it 13 times in its 36-year history. That includes last season, which saw the Eagles go 23-2 overall, which earned them a No. 12 seed in the NCAA Tournament where they gave Villanova a scare in the Round of 64.
Winthrop will be looking to make it three Big South tournaments in a row, having defeated Campbell in the 2021 Championship game.
The tournament has been hosted by the Eagles for the past two years, but moves to Charlotte for 2022.
