What to Know

The Citadel has enjoyed a eight-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will venture away from home to challenge the Cent. Arkansas Bears at 7:00 p.m. ET on Monday at Farris Center. Both of these teams will be looking for a pick-me-up after considerable defeats in their previous games.

The Citadel is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to 94 points two weeks ago, they were much more limited against Campbell on Thursday. It's going to take some time for them to recover from the 86-58 bruising that the Fighting Camels dished out on Thursday. The matchup marked the Bulldogs' lowest-scoring contest so far this season.

The Citadel struggled to work together and finished the game with only eight assists. That's the fewest assists they've posted since back in February.

Meanwhile, Cent. Arkansas' recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Saturday after their fourth straight defeat. They wound up on the wrong side of a painful 82-57 walloping at the hands of Arkansas. The Bears were surely aware of their disadvantage in the point spread, but the foreknowledge did nothing to prevent the result.

The Citadel's loss dropped their record down to 5-4. As for Cent. Arkansas, their defeat dropped their record down to 2-8.

Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: The Citadel has crashing the boards this season, having averaged 40.6 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Cent. Arkansas struggles in that department as they've been averaging 37. With both teams battling to corral missed shots, we'll see if one team can grab an edge.
