Basketball Welcomes Furman on Wednesday for Pack The Mac

LAST TIME OUT

Davis' layup and one put CIT up 13-10 just over four minutes into the ballgame.
UTC tied the game at 17-17 before a corner three had the Mocs ahead 23-19 halfway through the opening stanza.
After a fastbreak layup, another UTC 3-ball pushed the edge to double-digits, 32-21, forcing CIT to talk things over.
Five straight points by the Bulldogs, including an AJ Smith long ball, cut the margin to six, 32-26, at the 5:40 mark.
A UTC layup momentarily nudged the difference back to double-digits with 33 seconds left but a Davis layup with two ticks remaining had CIT trailing by nine, 45-36, at the intermission.
The Mocs started the second half with a quick 6-0 run to earn their biggest lead of the game to that point, 15, causing the Bulldogs to call a quick timeout 1:20 into the half, down 51-36.
UTC's eighth 3-pointer of the game extended the margin to over 20, 66-45, at the 13:33 mark.
Another Mocs three followed by a dunk ballooned the score to 79-52 at the under-8 media timeout as UTC sailed to a 90-62 victory.

DAVIS' DEVELOPMENT

Freshman Keynan Davis scored a season-high 18 points at Chattanooga on Saturday afternoon.
The Chicago native also set career-high marks in field goals made (eight) and attempted (13).
The guard has recorded double-digit point efforts in three of the last five games.

IF THIS, THEN THAT...

With a win, The Citadel would beat Furman at home in consecutive seasons for the first time since 2009-10.
With a loss, the Bulldogs would fall to 3-17 against the Paladins in the last 20 contests.

E FROM THREE!

Elijah Morgan sits a top The SoCon in 3-point field goal percentage at 43.0% (61-of-142).
That 43.0% mark is good for 20th in all of Division I.
The guard has also scored at least 13 points in 7-of-8 conference games, averaging 17.6 ppg, good for seventh in league play.

AT THE CHARITY STRIPE

The Bulldogs lead The SoCon in free throw percentage in league play at 74.1% (100-of-135)
