What you need to know about The Citadel
The Citadel opened its season by stunning Pittsburgh 78-63 as 10.5-point underdogs. They lost their only other Division-I matchup against Presbyterian in double-OT, but they’ve picked up a couple wins against teams from lower levels. The Bulldogs have hit the 100-point plateau twice this season and they play at a fast pace.
Four players average at least 11 points, led by forward Hayden Brown (17.8 ppg), who also leads the team in rebounding (10.5). The team shoots 37 percent from 3-point range, and if the Bulldogs get hot from deep, they certainly could make this one closer than the odds indicate.
