The Citadel basketball team will play host to the All-Air Force traveling team on November 7th at 7:15 in McAlister Field House in an exhibition contest.

"The All-Air Force team is always a good challenge for us before we break into our regular season," Citadel head coach Pat Dennis stated. "They usually have some strong athletes that force you to step up your play for an exhibition game."

For the Bulldogs it will be their first action against someone beside themselves in the 2002-03 campaign. The Citadel hosted the Blue-White Scrimmage this past Monday and is looking forward to playing a different team.

"Our guys are really tired of beating and practicing against each other," Dennis added. "This is the type of scrimmage that you can get a good feel of where your team stands and what you need to improve on before the first regular season game."

The Citadel is looking forward to its third consecutive winning season as they embark on the 2002-03 season. If that happens it will be only the fourth time in school history the Bulldogs' basketball program has done so and the first time in over 40 years.
