The Citadel has been led by their high-powered offense that ranks 25^th in scoring offense, 104^th in FG%, & t-6^th in three-pointers made per game, however, the Bulldogs are no stranger of giving up points and come into this game ranked just 299^th in scoring defense. Wofford has been solid on both ends of the court this season and currently rank 82^nd in scoring offense, 30^th in FG%, 80^th in scoring defense.

Wofford is a good mid-major team and has been solid on both ends of the court, however, The Citadel is a team that can put up points on the scoreboard and I think will have some success against the Terriers who rank just 276^th in defensive FG%. Wofford is most likely going to win this game, however, The Citadel do have an impressive 15-point road victory at Pittsburgh this season and as I think they can keep this one within about 10 points, I think the play here is to take the Bulldogs and the points. Good Luck!
