NEW YORK - With shooting as chilly as the mid-November New York air, Gardner-Webb managed to shoot just 27 percent from the field in the first half and trails UConn, 41-27 at the break.

UConn's AJ Price (the MVP of the Storrs Regional of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic) had 17 points to lead all scorers. Grayson Flittner leads the Runnin' Bulldogs with 10 points.

The teams combined for 30 fouls and three Bulldogs have three fouls each.

. . . New York hoops legend Howard Garfinkel is in the house.
