SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Gardner-Webb (4-5) University men's basketball team dropped a mid-week contest at Wofford (4-5) by the final of 88-64 on Wednesday night inside the Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium.
 
Graduate forward Jamaine Mann led the way for the Runnin' Bulldogs with 15 points while freshman guard Jacob Hudson posted a career-high 14 points on the evening. Senior forward Ademide Badmus grabbed a team-high six rebounds.
 
Wofford jumped out quick with the first six points of the game before sophomore guard Darryl Simmons II knocked down a triple to cut the deficit in half with 15:53 on the first half clock.
 
However, the Terriers continued to find rhythm on the offensive end, pushing their advantage out to double-digits, 21-11, following a layup from Jeremy Lorenz. Gardner-Webb used a run of 9-3, fueled by six points from Mann, trimming the score to 26-20, but Wofford finished the half on scoring 16 of the final 27 points while taking a 42-31 lead into the break.
 
Five in a row by Wofford ballooned the lead to 47-31 coming out of the half before an 8-0 run by GWU brought the Runnin' Bulldogs to within eight, 47-39, less than three minutes into the second half.
 
Unfortunately, the Terriers used a 12-0 run of their own while building their biggest lead so far at 59-39. Freshman guard Colin Hawkins put a stop to the run with a jumper but Wofford blew the game open with 14 of the next 17 points, racing out to its largest advantage, 73-44.
 
The 'Dawgs scored the next six to pull within 73-53, but that would be as close as the visiting team would get, eventually dropping the contest 88-64.
 
The Runnin' Bulldogs return to the friendly confines of Paul Porter Arena on Saturday, December 7, playing host to NC Central at 2 p.m.
