CHARLESTON, S.C. 
- The Citadel basketball team hosts Voorhees College at 6 p.m. Tuesday at McAlister Field House. It will be the final chance for fans to see the Bulldogs in action at home until they open Southern Conference play vs. Chattanooga on Jan. 2. ­
 
The Bulldogs (5-4) are seeking their third win of the season when coming off a loss. Voorhees is the third and final non-Division I opponent that The Citadel faces this season.
 
In two previous wins over non-DI Mid-Atlantic Christian and Bob Jones, the Bulldogs recorded the two highest scoring outputs in the Southern Conference this season with 132 points and 121 points, respectively. The Citadel is 1-0 all-time against Voorhees and the last time the two teams squared off was a 95-60 blowout in 2004. 
 
The Bulldogs boast the highest scoring offense in the nation with 94.1 points per game and lead the Southern Conference in assists per game (21.0), assist/turnover ratio (1.5), three-pointers per game (13.1), total field goals made (301), steals per game (10.7) and turnover margin (5.1) heading into Tuesday's contest.
 
Senior point guard P.J. Boutte has led the charge in his final season of eligibility. He is averaging 9.1 points, 7.3 assists and four rebounds through nine games. His 7.3 assists per game is ranked eighth among all Division I players and first in the Southern Conference. Boutte is looking for his fifth double-digit assist game vs. Voorhees.
