Current Records: Western Carolina 8-12; The Citadel 8-10

What to Know

The The Citadel Bulldogs will be returning home after a two-game road trip. The Citadel and the Western Carolina Catamounts will face off in a Southern battle at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday at McAlister Field House. The Bulldogs are out to stop a ten-game streak of losses at home.

The Citadel sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 75-73 win over the E. Tennessee State Buccaneers this past Saturday.

Meanwhile, Western Carolina came up short against the Mercer Bears this past Saturday, falling 72-64.

The Citadel is the favorite in this one, with an expected 6.5-point margin of victory. Their home court has been no bettor's paradise, though, as they've failed to beat the spread in four of their nine home games.

The Citadel's victory brought them up to 8-10 while the Catamounts' loss pulled them down to 8-12. Two stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Bulldogs come into the matchup boasting the 25th most points per game in college basketball at 79.6. Less enviably, Western Carolina is fourth worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 78.7 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against Western Carolina.
