GAME NOTES
THE GAME
THE GAME
- The Citadel heads across the state to Presbyterian College for a Monday night matchup.
- It will be the 76th all-time meeting between the in-state foes with the Bulldogs holding a 50-25 series lead, being winners of 11 of the last 14 meetings.
- Every game can be heard live on 102.1-FM/1450-AM in the Charleston area. The voice of the Bulldogs, Brian Giffin, will be on the call.
- Morgan's third triple of the contest gave CIT its largest lead of the game, 46-39, 2:33 into the second half versus Boston College
- The Eagles tied the game at 58-58 with a three of their own at the 9:16 mark but a Bulldogs turnover on the ensuing possession led to a BC breakaway dunk as CIT had to talk things over.
- BC stretched the differential back to six, 69-63, with 4:38 remaining before a Christian Moore make from long range made it a one-possession game.
- Madison Durr's layup cut it to one, but BC took advantage of a CIT turnover and missed three ball with a pair of layups to go up 73-68 with 0:43 seconds left.
- Morgan came up with his fourth and final three-pointer of the night as 25 ticks remained on the clock, but BC made both free throws to hold on for a 75-71 road win.
- The Blue Hose are 2-0 after a 68-62 road win at Vanderbilt on Tuesday before besting Columbia International in their home opener on Thursday night 100-68.
- Freshman Keynan Davis hit four first-half three-pointers versus Boston College on Friday night as The Citadel held a 38-35 lead at the break.
- Grad student Elijah Morgan hit four triples of his own as he led the Bulldogs with 17 points after being held scoreless at NC State last Monday.
- With a win, the Bulldogs earn their first win of the season and in doing so, defeat the Blue Hoes for the 12th time in the last 15 meetings.
- With a loss, The Citadel would fall to 0-3 to begin a season for the first time since the 2019-2020 campaign.
- Four freshmen have appeared in both games this season for The Citadel.
- Two of them, Davis and Moore, are averaging 22 and 14 minutes a game, respectively.
- In all, six freshmen have seen playing time for the Bulldogs so far this year.
- For the second straight game the opposing head coach will have Citadel ties as Presbyterian Head Coach Quinton Ferrell served as an assistant under Chuck Driesell during the 2012-13 season.
- Graduate transfer Winston Hill returns to Clinton to play his old team after spending last season at Presbyterian, appearing in the first seven games before suffering a season-ending injury.
- The Citadel returns home on Thursday, November 16 for a 7 p.m. tip with North Greenville.
