The Citadel vs Campbell Prediction 

The Citadel comes into this matchup with a 5-3 record on the season, but four of those wins have been against non-D1 teams. The Bulldogs have some very solid offensive numbers on the season, but a lot of that has to do with the level of competition they are playing. Campbell has lost three of their last four and they have scored 60 points or fewer in all three losses. The Fighting Camels are shooting just 43.4% from the field and averaging only 32 rebounds per game. I know The Citadel has played a very easy schedule, but Campbell hasn’t looked very good. Take the Bulldogs here.
