For a second straight year, Georgia Tech has dropped an inexplicable non-conference game against a mid-major program. Yes, Gardner-Webb entered the game with a five-game winning streak but the Yellow Jackets a much bigger, and more talented team couldn’t keep up with the Runnin’ Bulldogs offense.
On Monday night, the Jackets fell to Gardner-Webb 79-69. The Jackets tried to claw back from a nearly double-digit deficit at halftime but could never get enough defensive stops.
The Yellow Jackets usually solid defense couldn’t stop the Bulldogs on Monday night as Gardner-Webb shot over 50% from the field and went 6-for-15 from beyond the arch.
