The Presbyterian Blue Hose and the Gardner Webb Bulldogs meet in college basketball action from the Paul Porter Arena on Wednesday night.

The Presbyterian Blue Hose will look to bounce back from back-to-back losses after an 82-72 loss to USC Upstate in their last game. Rayshon Harrison leads the Blue Hose in scoring and assists with 17 PPG and 2.8 APG while Winston Hill has 11.4 PPG with a team-high 6.6 RPG as the only other double-digit scorer for Presbyterian up to this point in the season as well as the Blue Hose’s top rebounder.

As a team, Presbyterian is averaging 67.7 PPG on 41.5% shooting from the field, 26.5% from three and 68.8% from the foul line while allowing 67.5 PPG on 45.3% shooting from the field and 38.1% from three this season.

The Gardner Webb Bulldogs will try to add to their current four-game winning streak after a 78-69 win over Hampton last time out. D’Maurian Williams leads the Bulldogs in scoring with 14.3 PPG along with 5 RPG while Lance Terry has 14.1 PPG and Kareem Reid has 11.2 PPG with a team-high 5.9 RPG to lead the Bulldogs on the glass while also rounding out the trio of double-digit scorers for Gardner-Webb so far this season. Jordan Sears also has 8.5 PPG with a team-high 2.9 APG to lead the Bulldogs in the assist department this season. As a team, Gardner-Webb is averaging 74.3 PPG on 46.4% shooting from the field, 32.7% from three and 69.9% from the foul line while allowing 65.9 PPG on 39.1% shooting from the field and 27.6% from three this season.

Presbyterian is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS loss while the over is 8-2 in their last 10 games following a SU loss. Gardner Webb is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS loss and 2-10 ATS in their last 12 home games against a team with a road winning percentage below .400 while the over is 6-0 in their last 6 home games.

I get why points could be tempting here, but the Bulldogs have been solid as of late and it all started with a massive road win over a power 6 team in Georgia. The Bulldogs are just firing on all cylinders right now and I don’t see it stopping here against a Presbyterian team that’s had trouble stopping anybody as of late. Give me Gardner Webb by double digits.
