Charles Corbin then sank a layup for Winthrop with 2:16 left, making it a 53-44 game. The basket began a back-breaking eight-point Eagles run that ended on two Jones free throws with 1:08 to go, pushing the lead to 59-44 and effectively sealing the victory.
Coastal Carolina held a small lead for most of the first half, and got baskets from Danny Nieman and Gray at the end of the period for a 26-24 halftime lead.
