CHARLESTON, S.C. - The Citadel basketball team puts its five-game home winning streak on the line against Navy in the "Battle of the Blues" on Saturday at 1 p.m. The 11th all-time meeting between the two programs is being broadcast on ESPN3 with Darren Goldwater and Dean Keener making the call.
The game, sponsored by Bulldog Tours, Coke Zero and Balfour, has been designated as the "Battle of the Blues." All fans wearing their adidas Citadel BLUE OUT basketball t-shirt, provided in the season opener against Toccoa Falls, will be admitted free.
The Citadel will also be supporting the Toys for Tots program, with everyone donating a new, unopened toy receiving a free Coke Zero. The first 1,000 fans will receive a Bulldog Tours Koozie, and Balfour will be offering complimentary ring cleanings.
Keyed by offensive threats Ashton Moore (17.7 ppg) and P.J. Horgan (13.6), the Bulldogs are looking to tie their third-longest winning streak (six games) at McAlister Field House this century. The last time that The Citadel (3-4) was victorious in six consecutive home games was during the 2008-09 campaign.
Navy (2-6), coming off a pair of losses to Saint Francis (Pa.) and Penn within the last week, is in search of its first win of the season on a non-neutral court. The Midshipmen are led by Brandon Venturini (10.5 ppg) and Edward Alade (8.9).
Along with the ESPN3 broadcast, the game can be heard on Fox Radio Sports 1450 with play-by-play announcer Mike Legg making the call for the Bulldogs.
