Last Wednesday, the Mocs didn't have too much trouble with the Terriers at home as they won 81-65. The over/under was set at 146.5 points, so nice work oddsmakers; you were right on the money.

Despite their loss, The Citadel saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Quentin Millora-Brown, who dropped a double-double on 13 points and ten rebounds, was perhaps the best of all. Millora-Brown didn't help The Citadel's cause all that much against the Terriers two weeks ago but the same can't be said for this game.

The Mocs are on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last 11 matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 19-9 record this season. As for the Bulldogs, their defeat was their eighth straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 10-18.

Everything came up roses for Chattanooga against the Bulldogs in their previous matchup back in January as the team secured a 90-62 win.
