Gardner-Webb and Charleston Southern will face off in a Big South battle at 2 p.m. ET at Paul Porter Arena. Neither of those teams managed to put together many points in their previous contests, so their meeting could be a low-scoring affair.

The Bulldogs didn't have too much trouble with the Campbell Fighting Camels on the road on Wednesday as they won 57-45.
