CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Citadel basketball team continues its busy early slate on Thursday. The Bulldogs will play their third game in six days to begin the 2015-16 campaign when they host Mid-Atlantic Christian at McAlister Field House at 6 p.m. After Thursday's contest, The Citadel (1-1) heads to Big South foe Presbyterian for a Saturday night clash in Clinton, South Carolina.
 
The Bulldogs are coming off a nail-biting 94-93 win over Stetson that gave The Citadel its first win of the season. Senior Derrick Henry poured in a game-high 25 points to help Baucom earn his first victory since taking over the program.
 
Baucom's frenetic pace is already settling in at McAlister Field House. The Citadel's 94 points were the most since Nov. 23, 2013 and the most against a Division I opponent since a 103-100 loss to VMI to open the 2011-12 campaign. The Bulldogs have also racked up at least 40 points in a half three times through two games already this season. The Citadel scored 40 or more points in a half only nine times in 30 games in 2014-15.
 
Mid-Atlantic Christian is the first of three non-Division I opponents on the Bulldogs' 2015-16 schedule. The Citadel played three non-D1 opponents last season and won each game by an average margin of 27.7 points.
 
Baucom's squad will then hit the road for its fourth game in eight days as the Bulldogs take on Presbyterian College on Saturday. The Citadel is 47-23 all-time against Presbyterian, winning 11 of the past 12 meetings. That game, which tips off at 7 p.m., will be streamed live for free on the Big South Network.
