Quickly: Georgia Southern begins a stretch of four games in eight days on Saturday by hosting the Runnin' Bulldogs of Gardner-Webb at Hanner ... The Eagles are 6-2 this season, and the six non-conference wins are the most since 2002-03, when Georgia Southern went 6-3 in the non-conference slate ... Gardner-Webb is 2-6 on the year ... The Runnin' Bulldogs dropped their first four games of the season, which included losses at SEC foes Vanderbilt and #19 Georgia, but rebounded to win both games at the Coastal Carolina Thanksgiving Classic, defeating ETSU, 78-72, and UNC Greensboro, 65-63 ... Gardner-Webb then dropped its last two games, losing at Charlotte, 79-57, on Dec. 3 and losing at home to Appalachian State, 73-63, on Dec. 5 ... Georgia Southern has blocked 40 shots through the first eight games of the season - ranking 33rd nationally in that category. The current 5.0 blocked shots per game average puts Georgia Southern on pace for 135 blocks this year, which would eclipse the school record of 131 set in 1980-81.
