LAST TIME OUT
The Citadel men's basketball team's game at Marist on Nov. 23 came down to the final minutes as the Bulldogs found themselves down three, 75-72, with 1:24 left in regulation. With the game on the line, a trio of juniors stepped up in the biggest moment to help the Bulldogs end a three-game, seven-day road trip on a high note with a 79-75 win. With 1:14 left in regulation, junior
Kaiden Rice was fouled while taking a 3-pointer. Rice easily made all three free throws to tie the game, and with 23 seconds left, graduate transfer
Eddie Davis, III slammed home a thunderous dunk to give the Bulldogs a two-point, 77-75 lead. On the ensuing Marist possession,
Michael Cubbage went for a layup to tie the game, but junior
Derek Webster, Jr. was there for the biggest block of his career, and fellow junior
Alex Reed cleaned up the defensive rebound before drawing the foul. Reed strolled to the other end of the court and deftly hit both free throws to put the game away at 79-75 with four seconds remaining.
