The Citadel hasn’t been able to string together more than two consecutive wins so far; it’s been a choppy season. The Bulldogs are just 1-3 in their last four, taking a win over VMI and losses to UNC Greensboro, Wofford and East Tennessee State. 

Matched up against the Buccaneers on Saturday, the Citadel trailed by two points going into the second half. The Bulldogs were outscored 22-30 from there in a 77-67 loss. Tyler Moffe managed 20 points, and Hayden brown doubled with 17 points and 18 boards in the defeat. 

Over on the Samford side, they started the year on a nice 10-2 clip, but then hit a 1-6 run in January. Since then the Bulldogs have won seven of eight games, including beating Wofford, East Tennessee State, VMI and UNCG in the last four. 

In the Saturday game versus UNC Greensboro, Samford hit a 33-24 run in the first half. The Bulldogs were outscored 22-25 from there but hung on for the 55-49 win. Ques Glover was the lead scorer with 20 points and four rebounds. 

Samford is 7-2 ATS in their last nine overall and 4-1 ATS in their last five at home. The under is 5-2 in Samford’s last seven Monday games.
Meanwhile, the Citadel is 2-6 ATS in their last eight overall and 1-4-1 ATS in their last six Monday games. The over is 5-2 in the Citadel’s last seven road games.

PICK: I’m going to stay with Samford. It’s been a nice 7-1 run over the last eight games for the Bulldogs, and they’ve been scoring well with 74 or more points in six of those outings. That said, the Citadel can be a pesky team at times this year. The last time these teams met up, the Citadel managed a 107-93 victory at home. Samford has a lot to play for in this rematch, and I think they’ll turn up the scoring to bang out a revenge cover. It’ll be an interesting matchup, that’s for sure.
