What to Know

The The Citadel Bulldogs have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. The Citadel and the Samford Bulldogs will face off in a Southern battle at 8 p.m. ET on Monday at Pete Hanna Center. If the game is anything like The Citadel's 107-93 win from their previous meeting in February, the scorekeeper will be kept real busy.

The Citadel came up short against the E. Tennessee State Buccaneers this past Saturday, falling 77-67.

Meanwhile, Samford didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup with the UNCG Spartans this past Saturday, but they still walked away with a 55-49 victory.

The Citadel is expected to lose this next one by 7. Now might not be the best time to take The Citadel against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past two consecutive games.

The Citadel is now 11-15 while Samford sits at 18-9. A couple defensive stats to keep an eye on: The Citadel is stumbling into the contest with the 16th most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 76.8 on average. Samford has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 43rd worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 74.4 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
