What to Know

The Radford Highlanders lost both of their matches to the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs last season on scores of 57-69 and 49-77, so they're hoping to turn the tables this season. The Highlanders and Gardner-Webb will face off in a Big South battle at 4:30 p.m. ET Saturday at Paul Porter Arena. Gardner-Webb will be strutting in after a win while Radford will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Radford was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Wednesday as they fell 63-58 to the High Point Panthers.

Meanwhile, Gardner-Webb didn't have too much breathing room in their contest with the UNC-Asheville Bulldogs on Thursday, but they still walked away with a 61-55 victory.

Radford is expected to lose this next one by 7.5. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the squad has let down bettors in their past six games.

The Highlanders are now 6-13 while Gardner-Webb sits at 10-10. Gardner-Webb is 7-2 after wins this year, and Radford is 4-9 after losses.
