Wofford Terriers Betting Preview
The Terriers kicked off their year with a 1-2 run featuring a lone win over Milwaukee among losses to George Mason and Auburn. After that came a nice 5-1 stretch with a lone loss to Northern Kentucky among wins over Bellarmine, North Florida, Erskine, Eastern Kentucky and Presbyterian. After a loss to Elon, the Terriers now sit at 6-4 overall across their first 10 games of the season.
Back on December 6 versus Elon, the Terriers were demolished 50-15 in the first half. Wofford got better from there on a 37-23 run but ended up losing in the end 73-52. Tops in scoring were Kahmare Holmes and Nils Machowski, each with 12 points and a combined seven boards. Chance Watley also finished in double-digits during the defeat with 11 points in 25 minutes of action on the floor.
Gardner-Webb Bulldogs Betting Preview
Over on the Bulldogs’ side, it’s been a rough year so far—to say the least. Gardner-Webb started out with losses to Minnesota, Clemson, North Greenville, Elon and DePaul in their first five games. Over the next half-dozen the Bulldogs would fall versus Richmond, Navy, SE Louisiana, UNC Wilmington, Queens U and Georgia Southern. The result through the first 11 games was a futile winless run.
Matched up against Brevard on Friday, the Bulldogs went into the second half with an eight-point lead. Gardner-Webb hit a 45-39 run the rest of the way and took the win 77-63 in the end. Leading the team was Jacob Hogarth with 23 points and a whopping 23 rebounds in 32 minutes. Spence Sims added 13 points with five rebounds and Colin Hawkins had 12 points with three assists in the victory.

Gardner-Webb vs Wofford Prediction
I’ll stick with Wofford. The Terriers really need a good bounce-back effort here after a rough game versus a middling Elon team, though. Wofford shot just 32.1 percent from the floor, 7-of-32 (21.9 percent) from 3-point range and 9-of-15 (60 percent) from the line in that one along with a 37-22 rebounding deficit and just eight team suits. The Terriers at least kept a good handle on the ball with just nine turnovers but pretty much everything else was sub-par. Wofford has scored just 115 combined points over their last two games, so I’d like to see them at least hit the 70-point mark in this one.
As for Gardner-Webb, they finally got a victory versus Brevard late last week but there’s still plenty to improve upon. The Bulldogs hit 53.3 percent from the field but had just 12.5 percent (1-of-8) from outside and 57.1 percent (12-of-21) from the line along with 13 turnovers. Gardner-Webb has 74 or more points in three straight games now but they’re giving up a lot on the other side as well.
