What to Know

The The Citadel Bulldogs have quite the challenge ahead of them as they're expected to be blown off the court. They will head out on the road to face off against the Georgia Bulldogs at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Stegeman Coliseum. Both teams have set a high bar for this contest after stand-out offensive performances in their previous contests.

On Saturday, The Citadel couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They lost to the UNC-Asheville Bulldogs by a decisive 91-76 margin.

Meanwhile, Georgia gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener. In a sloppy game that saw the teams combine for 26 turnovers, they took down the Western Carolina Catamounts 91-72. Georgia's success was spearheaded by the efforts of Sahvir Wheeler, who had 19 points, and Anthony Edwards, who had 24 points in addition to nine boards.

Georgia's victory lifted them to 1-0 while The Citadel's defeat dropped them down to 0-1. A couple last-season numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Georgia comes into the game boasting the 20th most points per game in the league at 91. But The Citadel enters the matchup with only 91 points allowed per game on average, good for fifth best in college basketball. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
