Paladins Prevail in OT Thriller

CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Citadel basketball team erased an 11-point halftime deficit before falling in overtime to the 14-2 Furman Paladins 67-63 on Wednesday evening.

The Bulldogs opened the second half on a 23-5 run to take a 42-35 lead at the 13:01 mark before the Paladins tied the game at 51-51 with 3:07 remaining.

Cam Glover led The Citadel offense with a season-high 20 points, including 12 in the first five minutes of the second half. Sola Adebisi had 15 points (13 in the second half) and nine boards while Brody Fox added 14 and seven.

Second Half:
  • After a 30-19 deficit at the half, Glover was fouled on a three and made all of them to pull the Bulldogs within two, 35-33, at the 15:17 mark.
  • After Glover's jumper knotted the game, The Citadel added to its 18-5 run to begin the half as a second chance opportunity led to a Colby McAllister 3-ball, 42-35 Bulldogs.
  • Furman answered with five straight to trim the margin to one, 42-41, but The Citadel responded with 3-pointers by Fox and Christian Moore to kick the advantage back to six, 47-41.
  • A pair of Moore free throws extended the cushion to eight, 51-43, but a six-minute scoring drought helped the Paladins recapture the lead, 54-51 with 2:02 to go.
  • Adebisi knocked down a corner three-ball to tie the game at 56-56 (1:10) before adding a layup to again tie the contest at 58-58 (43-second mark).
  • A timely block by Adebisi with 27 seconds to go gave Paxton Davidson a jumper in the paint that went halfway down before popping out with six seconds left.
  • Furman quickly got the ball up court, but its open look did the same as Davidson's, sending the game to overtime.
Overtime:
  • The Paladins got the first four points of the extra session from the line before a Fox layup stopped the Bulldogs' drought three minutes into overtime.
  • Furman hit a crucial three, 65-60, at the 1:10 mark before The Citadel missed its ensuing shot from beyond the arc.
  • After a Paladins' turnover, Fox made one from the line, 65-61, which was followed by a Moore steal and Dante Kearse tip-in to get the Bulldogs within a possession, 65-63, with 10 seconds left.
  • The Citadel had to foul, and Furman made both to ice the game, 67-63.

The Citadel is scheduled to head to East Tennessee State University on Saturday, January 11 for a 4 p.m. tip.
