  • A Madison Durr 3-pointer trimmed the margin to three, 20-17 ETSU, at the 6:32 mark of the opening stanza.

  • This time the Bucs answered with a mini 6-0 run, but a AJ Smith jumper pulled the Bulldogs within two, 59-57, with 2:35 to go.
  • QMB missed the back end of two free throws, but CIT got the offensive rebound which was followed by Durr's driving layup, putting the Bulldogs ahead 60-59.
  • On the ensuing ETSU possession, it made 1-of-2 free throws to tie the game at 60-60 with 40 seconds remaining.

  • The Bulldogs had a chance to tie or take the lead but turned it over on their last possession to fall 62-60.
THREE IN A ROW AT HOME TO CLOSE

IF THIS, THEN THAT...
  • If the Bulldogs win, it would be just their third home win against the Bucs in the last 10 games.
  • If The Citadel loses to ETSU, it would be a fourth straight loss to the Bucs.
