What to Know

The Citadel was close but no cigar two weeks ago as they fell 77-74 to the Manhattan Jaspers. The contest was as close as the oddsmakers predicted, but The Citadel had been the slight favorite coming in.

Meanwhile, Western Carolina ended up a good deal behind the Charlotte 49ers when they played two weeks ago, losing 98-82.

The losses put The Citadel at 6-5 and the Catamounts at 6-7. A couple numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Bulldogs rank 20th in college basketball when it comes to points per game, with 81.9 on average.
