QUICK LOOK
• This is the first meeting between Gardner-Webb and South Florida.
• Gardner-Webb forged the first 18-0 league mark in Big South basketball history. No other team, men or women,
had done better than 15-0 in Big South action prior to the 2022-2023 Runnin' Bulldogs.
• Gardner-Webb has defeated three Power 5 teams in its Division I
history, winning at Purdue (2009), at North Carolina (2015) and at Florida (2018). The win at Florida came in former
head coach Alex Simmons' debut for the Runnin' Bulldogs.
