Box Score

CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Citadel basketball team almost banked in a half-court game-winner at the end of regulation before falling in overtime, 74-71, to the Wofford Terriers on Wednesday evening.

Brody Fox tied for a game-high 20 points, adding four rebounds, three assists, and a steal. Christian Moore and Sola Adebisi both had season-highs with 19.

How It Happened

Wofford raced out to an 11-2 lead but a Fox fastbreak dunk tied the score at 20-20 just over halfway through the first half.
The teams traded buckets for the rest of the session as a Wofford 3-pointer with :03 seconds left gave the Terriers a 32-31 edge at the break.
The Citadel began the second stanza on a 13-4 run, capped by Adebisi three as the Bulldogs took a six-point lead, 44-38.
A Fox layup held the edge at seven, 51-44 before a pair of Wofford triples contributed to a 10-2 spurt that put the Terriers back ahead 54-53 at the eight-minute mark.
A timely 3-ball by Moore gave the Bulldogs a four-point edge, 66-62, with 1:29 to go but extra opportunities by the Terriers led to pair of Wofford free throws, 66-64 with 28 seconds left.
The Terriers had a pair of fouls to give before sending The Citadel to the line with 10 ticks remaining, but the Bulldogs missed the front end before fouling Tripp on the final possession.
Tripp calmly knocked down both, but The Citadel had a chance with 3.4 seconds remaining. Moore would get a decent look from the half-court line, but it banked off the glass, the inside of the rim and out sending the game to overtime.
Adebisi's paint floater knotted the game at 70-70, three minutes into the extra session before making 1-of-2 from the line to go ahead 71-70 (:48 seconds).
Wofford's second chance tip-in gave it a one-point lead as Moore missed a contested three on the ensuing possession and had to foul.
The Terriers knocked down both from the line, 74-71, with five seconds on the clock as the Bulldogs came up empty on the final possession to fall at home.
