CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Citadel men's basketball squad hits the road again this weekend to take on two in-state rivals. The Bulldogs (10-15, 3-9) face Furman at 7 p.m. Thursday before playing Wofford at 7 p.m. Saturday. Both games will air on ESPN3 and Sports Radio 1450 AM.
 
Head coach Duggar Baucom is two victories shy of reaching the 200 career win mark heading in to the road swing. His team is looking to halt a three-game losing streak after Samford's late second-half surge edged The Citadel on Monday night.
 
The last time the Bulldogs faced off with Furman resulted in The Citadel's first Southern Conference victory under Coach Baucom. Senior Derrick Henry led The Citadel with 16 points and 10 rebounds (his first career double-double) while junior Brian White chipped in 16 points as the Bulldogs staved off a frenetic Furman comeback attempt. Since that loss, the Paladins have won six of their last seven games.
 
Following Thursday's clash with Furman, The Citadel will take the short trip over to Spartanburg, S.C., for a rematch with Wofford. The Bulldogs fell to the Terriers 86-83 in a back-and-forth battle on Jan. 14. Baucom and company erased a 14-point deficit to have a chance on the final possession, but a last-second shot was off the mark and Wofford escaped.
 
After the road trip, The Citadel returns to McAlister Field House for its final two home games of the season. The Bulldogs host East Tennessee State on Feb. 18 and Western Carolina on Feb. 20. The game on Feb. 20 is both Senior Day and the final Pack The Mac event of the season. Visit PackTheMac.com for tickets.
