What to Know

The Western Carolina Catamounts and the The Citadel Bulldogs are set to square off in a Southern matchup at 1 p.m. ET Jan. 14 at McAlister Field House. The teams split their matchups last year, with the Catamounts winning the first 94-90 at home and The Citadel taking the second 68-66.

On Wednesday, Western Carolina lost to the Chattanooga Mocs on the road by a decisive 95-76 margin.

Meanwhile, the Bulldogs found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 96-74 punch to the gut against the E. Tennessee State Buccaneers on Wednesday.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Western Carolina is expected to win a tight contest Saturday. But bettors beware: they are only 1-3 against the spread when favored.

With both teams hitting sour notes in their previous games, they will no doubt be looking to produce a better outcome in this one. We'll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
