Why?

Because they’ve lost their first two games of the season including their most recent one verses 16th ranked Arkansas by a score of 86-69 on Saturday.

In Gardner -Webb’s 89-69 loss to 16th ranked Arkansas Gardner-Webb (0-2) led by as many as six points with 6:46 remaining before halftime, but No. 16 Arkansas (2-0) countered with a 27-5 run into the break and pulled away for an 86-69 victory over the Runnin' Bulldogs in front of a sold-out crowd in Bud Walton Arena on Saturday afternoon.

Freshman guard Julien Soumaoro shined in only his second-career game, pouring in five triples on 5-of-7 shooting to finish with a team-high 20 points. All five of his baskets on the afternoon came from 3-point land. After only hitting on three attempts from long range in its season-opener, Gardner-Webb connected on 13 from downtown against the Razorbacks. Ten of those came in a second half in which the Runnin' Bulldogs shot 56% (14-for-25) overall from the field and 55.6% (10-of-18) from 3. Juniors Kareem Reid and Lance Terry each finished with 16 points apiece. Reid shot 7-of-10 from the floor and set a new career high, while Terry knocked down 6-of-11 and added four 3-pointers. Overall, GWU shot a serviceable 45.3% (24-of-53) for the game. On the flip side, the high-powered Arkansas offense connected on 47.1% (32-of-68) of opportunities while shooting even better from beyond the arc at 48.1% (13-of-37). Gardner-Webb hung strong for most of the first half, using an 8-0 run to surge to the lead with 12:39 left in the opening frame. Trailing by four, Soumaoro was fouled while knocking down his first triple from the corner, sending him to the line for a successful four-point play to even things up at 11-11. Buckets from Reid and Terry followed, and the Runnin' Bulldogs pulled out to their first lead of the game, 15-11. Selden then hit from deep just minutes later, and Reid converted on a three-point play of his own, as the 'Dogs jumped ahead to its largest lead of the game with 6:46 to go in the first half, 21-15. The nation's No. 16 quickly then quickly answered. Using a 14-0 run, the Razorbacks raced ahead and ultimately took a 16-point lead into the locker room, 42-26. Their good play continued to begin the second half, opening up a lead of as many as 31 points with 7:42 to play. Gardner-Webb did indeed regroup down the stretch, chipping away with 22 points in the final seven minutes to come within 19 points at the final horn.
