Want to know how unexpected Gardner-Webb's victory over Kentucky was even for thier own athletic department? The Runnin' Bulldogs scheduled a game in Connecticut for November 20th, the same Connecticut team that GWU will be playing in New York five days earlier at the semifinals of the 2K Sports Classic on November 15th. So that means the the Bulldogs could possible play the Huskies twice in five days. At least they will be getting paid a ton of money for the two trips, because the win actually presents a scheduling nightmare for GWU, which will now play at home to North Greenville on Nov 13, then travel to NYC for the tournament on Nov15-16, then travel all the way back to North Carolina for a meeting with Radford on Nov 17. Somehow, I think the Bulldogs would take the upset of Kentucky for some possible jetlag anyday.

If GWU plays UConn twice, they win one. I'm calling it.
Nice work, rob. That's actually pretty damn funny.
