Gardner Webb Game Thread

artis gilmore/> Yes it is time tonight to take on those nasty, angry, vicious Gardner Webb Running Bulldogs. Coming to you live from Boiling Springs, North Carolina (aint no party like a Boiling Springs party), Gardner-Webb was named after a former North Carolina Governor and his wife and ever since that day, has educated the youth of North Carolina in ways that make us all tremendously proud as Americans. The WEBB (As the locals call it) has a rich basketball history as well, including producing graduate Artis Gilmore (shown above). Gilmore was a great professional basketball player and is a member of the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame, thanks to his participation on the 1975 ABA champion Kentucky Colonels' squad. The WEBB will look to replicate the success this year as they try and dig themselves out of the hole created by a grade-changing scandal from just a few years back. As for the game, I like the Cats relatively big tonight. Once again, I think it may be tight early, but I expect a nice 15 point cushion for most of the game and a 28 point victory. The spread right now is 25, so I say take the Cats.....although do it lightly. Use the thread below to give your predictions and chat it up......
