The 2019-20 season gets underway on Saturday, Nov. 9, with a home game against UNC Asheville. The home schedule also features non-conference games against Campbell (Nov. 16), Brevard (Nov. 26), Carver (Dec. 7) and Piedmont (Dec. 10).
The Citadel will host nine Southern Conference games inside McAlister Field House. The league office has changed things up by doing away with travel partners and moving the first game of the weekend from Thursday back to Wednesday.
The Bulldogs open the conference slate on Dec. 4 against ETSU. The 'Dogs will also play host to Western Carolina (Jan. 4), UNCG (Jan. 15), Furman (Jan. 25), Wofford (Jan. 29), VMI (Feb. 8), Samford (Feb. 15), Chattanooga (Feb. 19) and Mercer (Feb. 26).
The 2020 Southern Conference Basketball Championships, which are not part of the season ticket packages, will return to the Harrah's Cherokee Center (formerly the U.S. Cellular Center) in Asheville, North Carolina for the ninth straight year. Action in the men's tournament will get started on Friday, March 6 and will conclude on Monday, March 9.
Last season, the Bulldogs raced out to a 9-2 record in the first 11 games, setting a program record, including rattling off seven straight wins. Included in that stretch were thrillers on the road at James Madison and South Florida. The Bulldogs finished the season with an 8-7 record at home, marking the first .500 or better home record since the 2016-17 team went 8-8 at home. It was the first time since the 2014-15 season that a team has finished above .500 at home.
The 2018-19 Bulldogs went 8-3 in games against non-SoCon teams, marking the best out-of-conference record since the 2001-02 team also went 8-3 prior to opening up SoCon play.
During the season, the Bulldogs set 10 single-game program records, and the 'Dogs ended the year atop the SoCon standings in three statistical categories and in the top five in the conference in five others.
The Bulldogs return eight letterwinners from last season and will welcome eight newcomers into the fold.
