Winthrop playbook: Soaring Eagles


Winthrop made its first NCAA tournament appearance last year, coming in as a No. 16 seed -- and was immediately knocked out early by top-seeded Auburn. Greg Lewis is the team's leading scorer and rebounder, and he's the player to watch.

ANIMATE THIS PLAY DIAGRAM WITH SHOCKWAVE
(A) Senior leadership is a big reason for the Eagles' success. Tyson Waterman (41) is the team's point guard and leader on the floor.

(B) Greg Lewis (30) starts on the ball side and makes a big curl off a pair of screens from Juontonio Pinckney (42) and Eyo Effiong (44).

(C) Lewis (30) flashes back into the paint and looks for the ball.

(D) With the ball in Waterman's (41) hands, the Eagles are at their best. He delivers to Lewis for the assist. Prospects aren't usually too good for teams like Winthrop in the Big Dance, but they're happy to be on the floor.
