Winthrop coach Randy Peele is still trying to figure out his team, which is 7-10 this season.

The Eagles are sixth in the Big South with a 3-4 record after losing their last two conference games.

"We have to get better. Our defense isn't where it needs to be," Peele said. "I want to see a greater sense of pride in our ability to defend."

Peele said after Winthrop lost 88-67 to UNC Asheville on Jan. 6 he was going to figure out what the problems were.

"I know what the problems are; I just have to fix them," he said.
