EAST LANSING, MICH. - The Citadel basketball team completes a two-game in two-day stretch when it squares off against Michigan State on Monday at 6 p.m. in the Jack Breslin Student Events Center.
 
The game, which is being broadcast on Big Ten Network with Will Tieman and Matt Steigenga calling the action, marks the fourth all-time meeting between the two programs since Nov. 12, 2006.
 
The Bulldogs (4-6) are in search of a victory against an NCAA power conference opponent for the first time since they downed South Carolina, 88-87, in the 1988-89 campaign. The Citadel is also looking to snap a 18-game losing skid on an opponents' home floor that began on Feb. 23, 2013 at Presbyterian.
 
The Dogs are coming off a three-point setback to Virginia Tech on Saturday. Despite being unable to find its touch from the field, hitting just 21-of-62 (33.9%), The Citadel's 13 3-point field goals were the 10th-most in program history.
 
In that contest, Ashton Moore scored a game-high 27 points as he improved his overall season scoring average to 17.1 ppg. P.J. Horgan added to his defensive numbers with three blocks as he extended his career-long streak to seven games, the fourth-longest by a Bulldog this century.
 
Michigan State (8-4) had a three-game winning streak snapped on Saturday following a 71-64 overtime loss to Texas Southern. The Spartans are led offensively by the combination of Danzel Valentine (14.2 ppg), Travis Trice (13.5), Branden Dawson (10.8) and Bryn Forbes (10.4).
 
Along with the Big Ten broadcast the game can be heard on Sportsradio 1450 with play-by-play announcer Mike Legg making the call for the Bulldogs.
 
Prior to The Citadel's game with Bethune-Cookman on Tuesday, Dec. 30, the cheerleading squad will host a free Cheer Clinic. The clinic is open to children ages 6-12 and will take place at McAlister Field House from 5-6:30 p.m. For more information or to enroll in the clinic, visit citadelsports.com.
