The South Carolina State Bulldogs will look to bounce back from an 82-78 loss at the hands of South Carolina Upstate last time out. Cam Jones leads South Carolina State in scoring with 11.9 PPG as the lone double-digit scorer for South Carolina Upstate while Rakeim Gary has 9.6 PPG and Edward Oliver-Hampton has a team-high 7 RPG.

The Citadel is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against a team with a losing record and 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 road games while the under is 15-3 in their last 18 games overall. South Carolina State is 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 home games and 10-1-2 ATS in their last 13 games overall while the under is 6-0 in their last 6 Sunday games.

This is a far from ideal spot, laying double digits with the Citadel on the road, but the problem is that South Carolina State just doesn’t have the horses to hang with the Citadel here. I mean this is a Citadel team that hung 81 on Duke and has a win over Pitt already as well this season. Give me the Citadel here.
