UNC Asheville vs Gardner-Webb Prediction
The Gardner-Webb Bulldogs will have their chances at home where they’ve seen half of their wins come this season, but I’m siding with UNC Asheville in this near toss-up. The UNC Asheville Bulldogs simply have more options offensively and are one of the best offensive teams in the country. UNC Asheville is top-30 in offensive field goal percentage and sixth in points per game. If UNC Asheville is hitting its shots, there’s not much Gardner-Webb can do to counter. The UNC Asheville Bulldogs have topped 90 points in three straight games and scored more than 90 points in seven of its last nine games. Give me UNC Asheville on Wednesday night.
